The coroner's concerns
1. deficiency in knowledge and understanding of A&E consultants in paediatric A&E sepsis identification
“1) A potential deficiency in the knowledge and understanding of A & E Consultants covering in the paediatric A & E Department (whilst there is no on site consultant in paediatric emergency medicine) in the identification/diagnosis of sepsis in babies and very young children. Whilst it is appreciated that the quest to recruit further consultants in paediatric emergency medicine to provide more comprehensive cover in the Department continues, until such time as a sufficient complement is in place,”
