In this podcast Amanda talks to Yinka Makinde, Director of Digital Workforce at NHS England, about the huge value of apprentices and graduates to NHS providers, why it’s more important than ever to grasp opportunities in the digital space, and why workforce plans are essential to the success of the NHS.

In this podcast, GPs and medical examiners from England and Wales discuss their experience of extending medical examiner scrutiny to deaths in community settings. It explains how partnership working between GPS and medical examiners improves the experience of bereaved people and explores advantages for GPs of starting work with medical examiners now, before medical examiners become a required part of the new statutory death certification process from April 2024. Medical examiners are senior doctors from all specialties including GPs, who provide independent scrutiny of deaths not taken for investigation by coroners, and offer the bereaved an opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns.
