The coroner's concerns
1. lack of access to NOMIS by clinical staff
“Critical information relating to prisoners contained on his Prison National Offender Management Information System ("NOMIS”
2. voluntary access to NOMIS for clinicians
“If NOMIS training was a compulsory part of training for all clinicians working with prisoners”
3. lack of training on NOMIS for clinical staff
“[the deceased] died partly because of a lack of training which prevented staff from accessing and reviewing information”
4. inadequate NOMIS access for nurses
“Not all nurses can access NOMIS because it is not a compulsory part of their training”
5. risk of future deaths due to lack of NOMIS access
“If the current situation continues there is a risk that prisoners may die as a result”
6. lack of compulsory NOMIS training for clinicians
“consideration given to whether NOMIS training should be made compulsory for clinicians working within prisons in England and Wales”
