    Joan Hanratty · 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

    Joan Hanratty, who had a complex medical history including heart failure, ischaemic heart disease and moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, developed a chest infection and was prescribed antibiotics and steroids. She collapsed and suffered a cardiac arrest on 28 January 2018 and died in hospital later that day. The principal concern was that the prescribing system did not explicitly advise patients to seek medical advice if their condition did not significantly improve within a specified period after starting treatment.

    Source evidence

    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to Denton Medical Practice; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of explicit patient advice to seek medical advice after insufficient improvement from antibiotic and steroid therapy

    Wider context from the report

    “It was confirmed in the course of evidence given at the inquest that under certain circumstances, patients who have been diagnosed with, and are subject to regular review as a result of, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease are issued with prescriptions for antibiotics and steroids upon request and without requirement for a telephone or in-person consultation with a doctor. Whilst it is recognised that this practice accords with relevant clinical guidelines, it is a matter of concern that the system currently operated by the practice does not currently include explicit advice to patients that, in the event a significant improvement in condition is not experienced within a specified period of time of beginning antibiotic and steroid therapy, medical advice should be sought. ”
