Alison Dallow
3 Aug 2022 · Coroner Hugh Bricknell · Herefordshire
The coroner's concerns
1. unclear clinical advice regarding weight-bearing instructions
“It was unclear whether the clinical advice was to 'toe touch' or stay non- weight bearing”
2. unclear hospital policy on VTE risk reduction for outpatients
“The current hospital policy in connection with reducing the risk of Venous Thromboembolism was unclear especially regarding outpatients who apparently account for the majority of fractures treated”
3. absence of documented patient information
“Evidence of any information given to the patient was unavailable at the Inquest”
