The coroner's concerns
1. administration of Co-Amoxiclav to a patient with documented allergy
“On the 6" October 2018 although the hospital had noted that he was allergic to Co-Amoxiclav and although the paper medication notes noted that fact he was written up for that medication and it was administered to him.”
2. staffing shortages during weekend shifts
“On the same night the nurses and the doctors were working 12% hour "weekend" shifts".. The day nursing shift was one nurse short and so far as the doctors were concerned they were, as | understand they always are at weekends, too few in number and as a result all staff in hospital are thoroughly stretched and stressed and under resourced”
