Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic commenced in March 2020. In May 2019, a new Medical Examiner system was introduced to scrutinise deaths of patients dying within acute National Health Service Trusts. The Coronavirus Act 2020 which came into force in March 2020 modified certification of death requirements. Newly formed Medical Examiner Services were advised they could suspend scrutiny during the pandemic. The Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital Medical Examiner Service (NNUH MES) continued to scrutinise patient deaths throughout. This study summarises the workload of the NNUH MES from 1st June 2020 to 31st May 2021 over which period 2856 deaths were recorded and 2687 scrutinised by the Medical Examiners.
