The coroner's concerns
1. medication not checked with previous practice
“There did not appear to be any system whereby when a new GP Practice is requested to prescribe medication from a patient's Nursing Home the details are not checked with the previous Practice. Such a system would have highlighted the fact that Mr. [name redacted] medication had not been included.”
