Death Documentation Update: 'Attended by Doctor' terminology in EMIS and SystmOne

Death documentation templates in S1 and EMIS have been updated to replace the phrase 'seen by attending doctor during lifetime' with 'attended by doctor during lifetime', in line with 2025 guidance. The changes clarify that 'attendance' means a doctor who cared for the patient and is familiar with their medical history. Relevant sections now use the correct wording and include links to the updated definition, ensuring compliance and clearer documentation for clinicians.
