In response to a number of public inquiries, most notably the Inquiry into the murders committed by Harold Shipman, the Government is reforming the process of death certification in England and Wales.
These reforms include the recruitment of up to 1,000 Medical Examiners across England and Wales who will mostly work part time. The role of the Medical Examiner will be to conduct independent medical scrutiny of cause of death in all cases where the death is not subject to coronial investigation. Medical Examiners will also be the primary source of general medical advice to coroners.
The Medical Examiner e-learning training programme will deliver much of the training required for this new working role. These requirements are specified in the Medical Examiner training curriculum developed by the intercollegiate Working Group on Training for Medical Examiners.
The Medical Examiner e-learning training programme will be split into eight modules with approximately 90 training sessions of learning material in total.
