Taking the stress out of writing death certificates and reporting to the coroner

Wednesday, April 9, 2025 • Duration 26:55

Many rural doctors feel uneasy about the medico-legal aspect of their job when they’re an intern. But while it is natural to feel uneasy, there is plenty of support available from senior doctors, nurses and administration staff.

While the media often focuses on ‘suspicious’ deaths, relating to homicide, that only makes up less than 2% of all the casework that’s carried out by forensic doctors. Indeed ‘suspiciousness’ is not even a criteria for reporting. So what is?

In this episode hear from:

Dr David Ranson - Adjunct Professor in the Department of Forensic Medicine at Monash University.
Dr Mau Wee - Head of Service at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine.

Medico-legal, is not about blame, rather it’s about understanding how the death occurred and whether any systems need improving.

This episode features advice on how to seek out help if you are writing your first death certificate and how to ‘keep it simple’ when filling one out. Understanding when to report to the coroner is also discussed, along with what happens if you are required to prepare documentation for a coronial inquest.

Life as a rural GP... and how to make the most of your placements

Wednesday, April 2, 2025 • Duration 31:11

Being a rural GP, means being a key part of the community. It also provides you with great flexibility to balance the life you have outside of medicine.

In this episode, we have two contrasting stories; from Dr Tom Kefford, who became a GP to return to his hometown, to Dr Kingsley Rajasingham, a GP who moved to Gippsland 30 years ago, not knowing anyone.

They discuss the benefits and challenges of being a rural GP. For instance, how do you balance getting involved in the community, while keeping a professional distance? They also share their advice on how medical students and doctors in training can get the most out of their placements.

Guests:

Dr. Tom Kefford - GP in Warragul, VIC and Medical Educator with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

Dr. Kingsley Rajasingham - GP principal at Central Gippsland Family Practice in Moe, VIC.
