The role of the College
The College campaigned for the implementation of a medical examiner service, and continues to play a key role in influencing government’s work around implementation of the service.
Medical Examiners Committee
The Medical Examiners Committee was established as a result of the College being recognised as lead royal medical college for medical examiners. It includes representatives of a wide range of stakeholders, including other medical royal colleges, the Department of Health and Social Care and Welsh Government.
The College has delegated to the Medical Examiners Committee matters such as provision of guidance for the College’s work (as the lead royal college) on medical examiners, including to review and facilitate the delivery of an appropriate system of training, CPD and assessment.
