Calogero Di Blasi · Prevention of Future Deaths report

This summary was generated using AI from the published report. Please read the original report for the complete account.

Report summary

Calogero Di Blasi was referred for possible stomach and bowel cancer and underwent investigations including endoscopies and a CT scan. During a further endoscopy, a gastric varix was mistaken for an abnormal area and biopsied, causing a massive bleed; he died on 1 December 2022. The concerns included communication failures between specialist teams, insufficient timeframes for reviewing investigations on the urgent cancer pathway, and limitations in endoscopist training for recognising less common lesions.

PFD Monitor interpretation
Failure of specialty teams to communicate investigation information and share results in a timely manner
Wider context from the report
“(1) That one of the teams caring for Mr Di Blasi was completely unaware of the input from another specialty team, despite both referrals being made under the 2-week urgent referral pathway. The lack of communication between these teams meant that timely sharing of results did not occur. Even the very knowledge of the fact that a CT scan had taken place would have alerted the endoscopist to check those results, and it is likely that the second endoscopy would not have gone ahead. I understand this to be a national issue and is likely to apply to other investigations being carried out. ”

Verbatim wording from the response
“I asked ████████ and the witnesses to consider whether any further action could be taken to strengthen the pre-procedure checklist. I am advised that they have identified an additional potential change in practice. The Division of Surgery will undertake a scoping exercise to assess the feasibility of the administrative teams reviewing the patient list and identifying any patients who are on a parallel clinical pathway. The endoscopist would then be notified to review the electronic records and ICE and any relevant investigations before the procedure. Upon completion of the scoping exercise, the Division will consider whether a pilot may be offered for the endoscopy team.”

Brian David MORETON · Prevention of Future Deaths report

This summary was generated using AI from the published report. Please read the original report for the complete account.

Report summary

Brian Moreton was admitted with diarrhoea, recurring fever and a distended abdomen; a toxic megacolon present on CT was not reported to those treating him. He was treated for severe colitis, later found to have a perforated bowel, and died from infections following surgery and immunosuppression. The principal concern was poor and misleading communication between clinicians, departments and hospital trusts, including deficiencies in the information provided to radiologists and assumptions about his clinical improvement and surgical referral.

PFD Monitor interpretation
Failure to communicate accurate clinically important information between clinicians and departments
Wider context from the report
“- Evidence was heard that at the time of the inquest radiologists do not have access to patient' medical notes and base their reporting on a summary document submitted by the department requiring imaging. The summary document in Mr MORETON’S case was seen to be deficient in that it omitted his symptom of fever. It was heard in evidence a radiologist would need to telephone the department in question or go there to inspect the notes. Their awareness of a patient's condition is based on a telephone call referral followed by a summary document which can be at odds with each. - It is of concern that the use of telephone referral system and summary could contain errors and the radiologist must rely on this information, with no quick way to inspect a patient's notes. - The evidence also dealt with radiologists working in 2 hour triage shifts in a hectic environment where those clinicians receiving the referral seldom were the clinicians who carried out the imaging. The inference was the arrangement was susceptible to error. - Over the course of the inquest evidence was heard on a number of issues where information passed to and from clinicians involved in Mr MORETON’S care was inaccurate and misleading. - Assumptions were made that, Mr MORETON was improving clinically when a surgical opinion was sought, this was incorrect. - It was assumed Mr MORETON would be referred for a surgical opinion by ED department clinicians, when in fact none took place. - Clinicians in Newcastle Upon Tyne when asked for advice were under the impression treatment was working as it was mentioned his discharge from hospital was contemplated - this was not the case. - Overall I am concerned by the poor and misleading communications between clinicians, departments and Hospital Trusts on matters of vital importance to patient care. ”

Participate in a regular Inflammatory Bowel Disease multidisciplinary team meeting at Newcastle to improve communication and advice between the Trusts.

Verbatim wording from the response
“If specialist advice is required in relation to the management of colitis and any potential complications arising from this, even when the colitis is as a result of immunotherapy for the treatment of a melanoma, advice would be sought by the treating Gastroenterology team at North Cumbria, from the Gastroenterology team at Newcastle (as the tertiary centre), as the Gastroenterologists are the specialists dealing with colitis and any complications arising from this. This is why, following Mr Moreton's death, North Cumbria now take part in a regular Inflammatory Bowel Disease MDT at Newcastle, which as you heard at the inquest, has improved communication between the two Trusts and enables clinicians to more freely pick up the phone and seek advice.”

SBAR is therefore being relaunched throughout the Trust and meetings are ongoing to determine how best to achieve this. Clinicians will be expected to utilise SBAR in any escalation of a clinical problem that requires attention, or to facilitate efficient handover, both internally and externally.”

Hold joint internal and cross-Trust IBD multidisciplinary meetings at established biweekly and triweekly frequencies.

Verbatim wording from the response
“The Trust now holds joint biweekly IBD multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs) between the internal general surgery and gastroenterology teams. A triweekly joint specialist IBD MDT between the Trust and Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has also been established since February 2023. An MDT, made up of a variety of specialists within an interest in IBD or gastroenterology, approach to the management of a patient’s IBD, is recommended to provide optimised and personalised care, based on available professional expertise, infrastructure and funding, and helps to prevent errors in the delivery of care and avoid related harm to patients. The timing of MDT meetings happen on the aforementioned frequencies to ensure decision-making is not delayed, however, such discussions largely relate to complex, chronic IBD patients.”

Timetabled multidisciplinary team meetings cannot determine acute or emergency care because those decisions cannot be delayed.

Verbatim wording from the response
“Acute or emergency care decisions cannot not be delayed for timetabled MDTs, but should happen separately between relevant specialists. The introduction of the MDTs has improved working relationships and communication between the teams and Trusts, to ensure early referrals for specialist input in the management of a patient’s care is sought, for patients who are acutely unwell and/or where urgent advice is required. Had the MDTs been in place during Mr Moreton’s admission, he likely would have been listed for discussion in both MDTs and professional relationships would have been established to seek earlier input from surgical colleagues and specialists in Newcastle.”

Sinon MASHA · Prevention of Future Deaths report

This summary was generated using AI from the published report. Please read the original report for the complete account.

Report summary

Sinon Masha was born at home on 17 December 2021 following a breech presentation that was not identified until labour. After a 27-minute delay before delivery of his head, he suffered a catastrophic hypoxic brain injury and died on 21 December 2021. The principal concern was that the Trust’s process for managing home births against medical advice was not operating as set out in its guidance, was fragmented, and might result in insufficiently informed birth choices that put lives at risk.

Fragmented communication between professionals involved in birth-choice planning
Wider context from the report
“2. Specifically, Section 5 of the Birth Choices Guidance include: “5.1 All women requesting birth outside of guidance must be referred for discussion to the consultant midwife via BadgerNet for decision-making regarding their birth choices. ... 5.7. Where there are complexities that require the input of other professionals and if the woman remains undecided or voices a decisive choice to pursue a plan outside of Trust guidance a joint multiprofessional appointment must be arranged. 5.8. This appointment should include the consultant midwife; the woman’s named obstetric consultant and other relevant professionals/clinicians as needed. The consultant midwife will convene the multiprofessional team meeting with the purpose of ensuring that a comprehensive multiprofessional pregnancy and birth plan is formulated. 5.9. There may be occasions when the multiprofessional team cannot meet. In these circumstances it is acceptable for the multiprofessional team to see the woman separately. However, the team members must still agree a plan together and document this on the woman’s records.” 3. Evidence given at the inquest pertaining to the current situation was that the system outlined in section 5.8 of the Birth Choices Guidance is not in operation at all. Evidence was given by UHB’s Community Matron that without the input of a Consultant Obstetrician at the multiprofessional appointment, things might be missed in the birth plan, and the information given by the Consultant Midwife and Community Midwives may not carry the same weight with the patient as hearing the opinion of the Consultant Obstetrician. It was stated in evidence by the Community Matron that this could put the lives of Mums and babies at risk. 4. Evidence was given by the Director of Midwifery that although patient’s named Consultants are not involved in multiprofessional appointments with the patient there is a bi-weekly meeting of the other professionals who discuss all high risk patients and then the Consultant midwife meets with the patient’s named Consultant (who will have reviewed the patient in clinic) and discusses the individual cases and the birth plans. This system is felt to be working satisfactorily by the Consultant midwife. 5. I remain concerned that the current approach has evolved from necessity rather than being a carefully considered and planned amendment to the Trust’s guidance. Furthermore, the approach appears fragmented increasing the risk of mis-communication or mis-understanding. This system also deprives the patient of the benefit of hearing the perspectives of all the relevant professionals together in a setting where they, the patient, can witness the discussion and be satisfied that everyone has considered all the relevant factors and answered any queries or concerns they may have relevant to their decision. Consequently, I am concerned that patients may not be making fully informed decisions resulting in birth choices that put lives at risk. ”

Ensure physiotherapy input at daily safety huddles, including communication of observation requirements and risk-mitigation plans.

Verbatim wording from the response
“- The unit physiotherapist attends the daily safety huddle to ensure effective communication within and between the clinical team. Where this is not possible, the physiotherapy assistant attends to provide a handover of assessments and plans and to receive updates on any patients requiring physiotherapy input. During these meetings, the physiotherapist or their assistant will contribute to discussion around requirement for observation and other risk mitigating interventions. Any changes to the patient’s care are communicated with the team and are updated within the clinical records, and the mobility poster displayed in their bed area where relevant.”

Peter Mantador Ross · Prevention of Future Deaths report

This summary was generated using AI from the published report. Please read the original report for the complete account.

Report summary

Peter Mantador Ross sustained a subdural haemorrhage and cervical spine fracture after falling down stairs at home on 8 July 2020. The spinal fracture was misinterpreted and remained undiagnosed; later failures to maintain immobilisation and delays in MRI contributed to cardiac arrest and severe neurological injury. He subsequently developed pneumonia following an aspiration episode, and the inquest found that neglect contributed to his death. Concerns also included failures to review and communicate CT findings and poor clinical record-keeping.

“3. The Inquest heard that there were delays in communications from consultants to other clinicians e.g. GPs and patients following appointments/assessments due to a shortage of administrative support for consultants. This meant that important diagnostic/treatment information about patients was not shared expeditiously. ”

Verbatim wording from the response
“I also note your concern that incompatible IT systems between the hospitals in question made communication and information sharing in relation to Mr Jones’s treatment more difficult, as did the delay in the consultants communicating with other clinicians, including GPs, and as well as the patients themselves. I recognise that there needs to be adequate administrative support and greater use of digital technology to assist healthcare workers in completing non-clinical tasks, and that could increase the time they can spend caring for patients. This would provide a better patient experience and, ultimately, improve health outcomes.”
