The coroner's concerns

  1. 1. lack of medical review after referral

    “Although [the deceased] was referred to the Medical Team at 20:00 on 9 April 2019 whilst she still in the Emergency Department awaiting the CT venogram, she was never seen by them”
  2. 2. delayed neurological opinion

    “Although the Neurosurgical Team had advised the Bedford Emergency Department Team at 19.45 hours on 9 April 2019 that a Neurological opinion should be sought alongside the CT venogram, such opinion was not sought until 16.15 hours on 10 April 2019”
  3. 3. referral system failure

    “The Inquest heard that referrals to the Bedford Neurologist (only available during Monday - Friday working hours) are not always picked up through the standard referral system and often require personal 1:1 contact between clinicians”
