Qualifications

Full job description

“The next of kin are at the heart of everything we do”

We are seeking to appoint a proactive and self-motivated doctor to join our team of medical examiners at North & Mid Hampshire Medical Examiner Service.

Since 9 September 2024 when the service became statutory, all acute, non-acute and community deaths that do not require a coroner’s referral must be scrutinised by a medical examiner before the death can be registered.

The successful applicant will

provide independent scrutiny of non-coronial deaths
ensure the appropriate referral of deaths to the coroner
contribute towards a better service for the bereaved, including an opportunity for them to raise any concerns
improve the quality of death certification
support local learning and improvement by identifying matters that require escalation to local clinical governance and other processes
improve the quality of mortality data

The ME service interacts with many clinical specialities from both the acute and non-acute setting, strengthening links between the health services, coroners' offices and register offices.

Medical Examiners are senior doctors from a diverse variety of clinical specialties in secondary and primary care. Relevant governance experience would be a strong bonus. This could be mortality or other case record reviews in secondary care; or actively considering similar issues in the context of team meetings in primary care. You will work closely with our team of Medical Examiner Officers, who are vital to the efficient running of the service.

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the major provider of hospital services to the population of North and Mid Hampshire and surrounding areas. The hospitals in Basingstoke and Winchester provide a comprehensive range of acute services as well as being a tertiary referral centre for colorectal, liver, peritoneal carcinomatosis, haemophilia and pseudomyxoma surgery.

The Medical Examiner (ME) must be a medical practitioner registered with a licence to practise in the UK by the GMC, with at least five-years of experience. The post-holder must have been registered as a medical practitioner throughout the previous five years as at the date of appointment.

The main responsibilities are to:
ensure compliance with the legal and procedural requirements associated with the current processes of certification, investigation (by coroners) and registration of deaths
support hospital doctors and primary care doctors who call for medical advice on suspected natural causes of death
scrutinise the certified causes of all in-scope deaths
maintain comprehensive records of all deaths scrutinised and undertake analysis for clinical governance purposes
explain to bereaved relatives cause of death in a transparent, tactful and sympathetic manner
support the training of junior doctors in completion of MCCDs
engage with relevant governance activities relating to death certification
support the Medical Examiner Officers in carrying out their role and with their continuing professional development
Attend catch-up meetings for all MEs and MEOs which are currently 6 per year (4 x remote, 2 x face to face on either RHCH or BNHH site, and 1 'Away Day' (in-house training off site face to face).

For further details / informal visits or to arrange a conversation with our Lead MEO, Lisa Birkett 01256 313236
