Looking forward to the @NCEPOD webinar on 'Planning for the end' which is about to start - a review of the quality of care provided to adults towards the end of life. It is being recorded so you can watch it later.
From September 9th you will need to use the new attending practitioner MCCD. These have already been sent to hospital sites, GP practices etc. Do not use them before then. The currently used MCCD will not be valid if written on or after September 9th.
@georginab2610 Another fabulous CPD event by @georginab2610 for the ME service in Wales. Really is important to have an insight into other professions involved in care after death to ensure we can give the bereaved the best service possible
Huge thanks to @DaisyShale for inviting me to deliver training on Body Donation again. It was great to speak to the MEs and MEOs of Wales about how we can all work together to ensure timely & accurate death certification, to better support those wanting to donate their body.
A series of podcasts for medical examiner officers and coroners, shared by @DaisyShale is now live on the #PathologyPortal, discussing the roles, requirements and the statutory elements of both. Click here to watch: ow.ly/ysre50OQgR8
Wishing everyone a very happy National #PathologyWeek! 15 years of public engagement and still going strong. Looking forward to reading about all the events being held around the country. The focus this year is on #PathologistsAndPatients.
The latest National #MedicalExaminer Good Practice Series document, on MEs and dementia, has been published by @RCPath : rcpath.org/static/89d3402…
Diolch to all the GPS in Wales 🏴 who were able to join the session on 'Medical Examiners and Primary Care' last night. Positive session exploring how MEs, GPS, HMC and digital systems can work together to develop the service for the bereaved #medicalexaminer
Excellent meeting between @NWSSP #MedicalExaminer service and our Welsh GP colleagues with plenty of excellent questions about how we will proceed with finalising the roll out to cover remaining community deaths by the autumn to give us time before April next year.
@georginab2610 Hi Gina, could I book you again for the MES in Wales please?
@prtrevail @SDrjlshannon @NWSSP Absolutely! There is a lot of work being undertaken by different parties on modernisation of the MCCD, including work on making it digital and easier to complete by attending practitioners
Changes to death cert law are not far off including a statutory #MedicalExaminer system @DaisyShale and I are holding an open Q&A forum for GPs in 🏴 on May 4th at 7pm. Joining information and packs for implementation have been sent out to all surgeries and LMCs by @NWSSP
This year’s Medical Examiner conference is on May 17th on Zoom. Join us for policy updates, the launch of the NME’s annual report, reflections from the Chief Coroner and more. Delegates can shape the afternoon session by submitting questions in advance: rcpath.org/event/medical-…
Emotional reading the findings. Every bereaved, harmed, family I've met over many years have stated how harmful it is not having a voice,to have to search for openness & transparency, answers, truth. It impacts on every part of life. There has to be a kinder way for all.
"Not a single respondent felt they were treated as they would expect to be (with care, compassion, kindness, and respect) by the NHS after they were harmed" Our HPts survey results & call to action on compounded harm & the need for Restorative Approaches harmedpatientsalliance.org.uk/?p=1138
@kathyrumbers @derjones123 Huge thanks from us at the ME service in Wales, understanding the role of the SNOD is vital for the #ME and #MEO workforce
Hugely successful first All Wales #medicalexaminer service CPD and Annual Conference. Some amazing speakers covering topics recently featured in the NME good practice guidelines, followed by case discussions. Proud to work with some amazing MEs and MEOs
