Death Notification to
Procurator Fiscal (COPFS)
•
•
•
•
•
Revised Death Notification (F5) been in use since
December 2013
Current process is reliant on transcribing telephone
calls
• Creates delays in reporting for both NHS and
COPFS staff
• Not a good use of consultant or clinical time!
Similar process as eMCCD to be used for sending
information to COPFS
Advice or further requests to be sent back electronically
Piloted with Hospices from October 2014

marked with ‘Duplicate’. This matches manual
process and is supported by NRS cross-check
activities

•
eMCCD Training activity – should be flagged in LIG
education plans
SCI Gateway - Points to note

Locum access – SCIMP / SGPC suggest locums use
manual MCCD pads where:
• Local practices support locums completing death
paperwork
• Access to SCI Gateway has not been achieved in
time
•
Printing:
• New module introduced in R19 to enable production
of PDF output for eMCCD
• Does not need client installed on PCs
• Does need an Adobe reader – understood to be in
standard desktop build
