The coroner's concerns
1. delayed medical review after overdose

2. inconsistent use of communication paradigm
“the Trust does not appear to consistently have in use a communication paradigm (such as the SBAR paradigm introduced by the United States Navy and widely of application across the NHS) as to the content and documentation of key communications”
