A Leeds law student is ‘likely to have lived if he had been given face-to-face appointment’, a coroner has ruled.
His fourth consultation was with another advanced nurse practitioner who diagnosed him a flu-like viral infection on November 2. The coroner heard how Mr Nash’s condition deteriorated on November 2 and he and his partner made five calls to NHS 111, which his parents, Andrew and Anne Nash, have described as “shambolic”.
He had developed mastoiditis in his ear which caused an abscess on his brain, leading to his death, the inquest heard. GP expert Alastair Bint said the nurse should have organised an urgent in-person appointment after the fourth phone consultation on November 2, 2020 as his symptoms were “red flags”.
Mr and Mrs Nash, from Nantwich, Cheshire, said they were “both saddened and vindicated by the findings that the simple and obvious, necessary step of seeing him in person would have saved his life” and wanted to make sure “others don’t die as David did”. The coroner said a statement from Dr Neil Lawton, a partner at Burley Park Medical Centre, detailed the changes that have taken place at the surgery since the student’s death and apologised to the family.

David Nash inquest: Student 'likely to have lived' if seen in-person by GPA failure to see David Nash face-to-face meant he underwent surgery 10 hours later than was possible. Disgraceful the pain and suffering he must have endured GPs surgeries are in a terrible state my lot sold out to another company, I went in today to see the nurse, as I was walking out I noticed all the name slots on the doctors doors where the doctors names were empty with no longer 4 doctors that there used to be . Shocking!!!
