1. 1. anticoagulant medication given after fall without oversight

   “On her arrival the carer offered Mr [name redacted] his daily medications, which included an anticoagulant. He refused to take it. Following the conclusion of the inquest I sought information from Care4U Healthcare as to what, if any, protocol they have to ensure that clients who have fallen are not given anticoagulant medication without medical oversight. I have been told that medication comes in blister packs and the staff would not know if any medication was contra indicated after a fall. To date no”
