The coroner's concerns
1. delayed learning from abnormal test results
“It was accepted that the GP practice, when asked to perform tests by secondary services, should notify them of the results if they are abnormal. It was accepted that it should be confirmed in such circumstances that a follow up appointment is in place and considered whether any abnormal results should lead to a request for a more urgent review. It was also accepted that there was learning for the practice regarding this and that this could be discussed at a Significant Event meeting.”
