Updates to medical certificates of cause of death guidance (MCCDs)

DHSC has updated their guidance for medical practitioners completing medical certificates of cause of death (MCCD) with regards to implantable medical devices and medical practitioner qualifications. Medical practitioners are asked to adhere to the guidance to make sure death certification and registration are processed swiftly.

DHSC is asking all organisations that use Medical Certificates of Cause of Death (MCCDs) to review their stocks now and to order any additional supplies as soon as possible to ensure they have sufficient MCCDs to last through the winter.  All organisations are encouraged to check they are clear on the ordering process and they have their unique password.  Please see the guidance on ordering and retaining medical certificates of cause of death (MCCDs).
