The coroner's concerns
1. inadequate assessment of postoperative condition
“Failure of visiting General Practitioner to appreciate the seriousness of Mrs [name redacted] condition in view of her recent operation and persistent symptoms”
2. superficial postoperative telephone consultation
“Postoperative nurse-led telephone consultation for the enhanced recovery programme for laparoscopic surgery' appears to have been superficial and perfunctory with doubts over a further telephone follow-up as promised”
3. lack of formal communication channel
“There was no formal communication or opportunity for Mrs [name redacted] daughter to relate her mother's condition to the GP or the Nurse [name redacted]”
