Medical Certificate of Cause of Death
As part of the reforms being introduced from September 2024, a medical practitioner will be eligible to be an attending practitioner and complete an MCCD, if they have attended the deceased in their lifetime. The attending practitioner will propose a cause of death, if they can do so, to the best of their knowledge and belief. The introduction of medical examiners will see routine independent scrutiny of the cause of death proposed by an attending practitioner.
Registering the Death
In England, ideally a relative must register the death. To locate the relevant registry office of the area in which the death occurred visit www.gov.uk/register-offices and contact them to make an appointment
The Registrars Office will reach out to the next of kin to schedule a convenient date and time for death registration after receiving all necessary paperwork from relevant parties.
