Report summary
Robert Charles Rostron, who had Type 1 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease, became unconscious after an agency nurse administered insulin despite recording a low blood sugar reading of 2.2. He did not recover to his previous baseline and later died in hospital; the inquest found that the insulin administration exacerbated his natural illness. Concerns included the use of agency nurses without formal induction, insufficient knowledge of records and care plans, and an agency nurse being the only qualified nurse in charge of the unit.

Verbatim wording from the response “As part of the agency nurse’s orientation to the home, the location of all risk assessments, care plans, the diabetes resource file, physical posters regarding hypo/hyperglycaemia management, hypo box, medicines and policies and procedures would be shown, as mentioned previously, to them by the most senior member of staff at the home, to support them in their shift, which would be the Home Manager, Deputy Home Manager or Nurse in charge of the home. This ensures that any agency nurse is fully orientated and knows where to locate important documents as well as summoning support within the home.”

Verbatim wording from the response “5. Induction – the hospital had already reviewed its induction processes. This specifically includes the topics of record keeping, observation and responding to emergencies. Staff that are not familiar with the hospital are provided with a “tour” by more experienced staff when they first start work at the hospital. The hospital is committed to using its own staff and their pool of bank staff wherever possible rather than agency staff. To ensure appropriate staffing levels on any particular shift, managers are required to plan bank staff cover in advance to address planned staff absences. Since August 2016, no agency staff have been used at the hospital.”

PFD Monitor interpretation Implement an agency-nurse induction protocol requiring short-notice staff to attend early and receive policy and environmental orientation.
Verbatim wording from the response “However, notwithstanding the commitment to no longer employing agency staff on an ad hoc basis, it is impossible to say that this could “never” occur because of the obvious need to ensure appropriate staffing levels and the fact that emergencies might arise where additional staff cover is required. Accordingly, our client has developed and implemented an “agency nurse induction protocol” aimed specifically at any staff who may be booked at short notice to cover a shift. They are required to attend work one hour before the shift commences to go through an induction, and receive orientation to key policies and the environment.”

This summary was generated using AI from the published report. Please read the original report for the complete account.
Report summary
Christine Valerie STREET was admitted to hospital with an aggressive brain tumour causing disorientation, confusion, left-sided weakness and a risk of falling. On 11 September 2015, she was found unattended on a toilet floor after an unwitnessed fall, sustaining a minor head injury that accelerated her deterioration and the timing of her death. The report raised concerns about incomplete documentation, failures to follow observation procedures, the use and training of bank staff, and flawed recognition and management of the dying patient.

PFD Monitor interpretation Lack of assurance that bank staff are trained to Trust standards
Wider context from the report “(2) Mrs. Street was being specialised. She was on arm’s length observation and had been since just after her biopsy on the 28th August 2015. These observations had apparently been carried out successfully over the following days until early on the morning of the 11th September when an experienced HCA was specialling her. It was clear that he knew exactly how he should be specialling her, it was clear that the handover to him on the 10th September had been effective. It comprised a general handover, a bedside handover and a handover sheet. The handover sheet was flawed since it suggested that Mrs. Street had, had a fall already on the 9th September. There was no evidence to suggest that this was in fact the case. For some reason on the occasion when he escorted Mrs. Street to the toilet, a few steps from her bed in bay 9 on Level 8A West and indeed a few steps from the nurses station because bay 9 is a high dependency bay, he left her in the toilet, closed the door and did not wait outside. A few moments later she had an unwitnessed fall, the nurse at the nursing station heard the noise and rushed in to find her on the floor with a head injury which was immediately obvious. He looked after her and she was taken by wheelchair back to her bed once it had been established that she did not appear to have any injury other than the head injury. Thereafter, on the 11th she was appropriately managed.
The Trust policy on observations for patients with mental health illness (this lady was deemed not to have mental capacity due to the extent of the symptoms produced by the brain tumour and was the subject of a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguarding Order put in place urgently on the 31st August 2015) was not adhered to by the HCA.
The Trust policy on observations includes good paperwork for specialling including a specialling document which will stay with the care plan and daily documentation as to the specialling, plus an observation sheet. Apart from one or two observation sheets which appear to have been done on the 31st August, there was absolutely no documentation at all.
This was in direct contravention of the Trust's own policy and indeed of the NICE guidance on observations, i.e., the national policy.
There was another problem in connection with specialling and that is that the HCA involved was a bank employee and therefore the Trust has apparently no power over his training but must rely on the assurance of the agency that their staff have been appropriately trained for the tasks they are to perform. This gives no guarantee of course that they are trained to the standards set out in the Trust’s own policies and although the policies are handed to these members of staff or their existence made known to them, so that they can access them through the intranet, it seems highly unlikely that they would necessarily have had time or inclination to access every single one of the many protocols which exist in any acute hospital Trust.
The problem was overcome here and was not a direct matter for the Jury to explore in this Article 2 Inquest because from the evidence, it was clear that the HCA concerned was experienced, had worked in the neurosurgical unit before and had done specialling on many occasions before and so would have known exactly what was expected of him. Nonetheless, important documentation such as this must be completed appropriately.

Teaching sessions have also been run for the Trust’s health care assistants, to refresh their knowledge about what is required when they are asked to provide one to one care to any patient.”
