This animated short film is designed to guide certifying doctors through the process for completing a Medical Certificate of Cause of Death, or MCCD. An inaccurate MCCD can lead to further upset for people who are bereaved and delay funeral arrangements, so taking the time to complete the form in the right way can have a major impact.
Also, by completing the MCCD accurately, certifying doctors are helping to provide better quality information about causes of death.
