'Gross failings' led to pressure sores death

A double amputee suffered fatal pressure sores caused by"gross and obvious failings" in her hospital treatment.

The patient was left on a trolley in the emergency department for nine hours and even though she and daughter Emma Thirlwall said she needed to be given a specialist mattress, she was not given one. Mr Clow said there were"serious failings" over finding an appropriate mattress and other aspects of her care while at the QMC, including"a gross failure" to prevent Ms Prince's open wounds coming into contact with faeces.

Recording a death by"natural causes, contributed to be neglect", he said he was"troubled by the lack of evidence" of any changes to wound management at NUH.

RIP

Best wishes to the family. The NHS is broken and sadly clueless it seems.

It is completely unacceptable and uneccesary to have any form of pressure sore in the 21st century. We understand how they form and ensure we can prevent them.

Why don’t report some positive NHS stories?
