    JOAN DOROTHY RICHARDSON · 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 Dorothy Richardson became seriously unwell with rapid swelling, bruising and discolouration of her arm. After her GP surgery was closed for staff training on 21 November 2013, she was seen the following day, suffered a cardiac arrest in hospital, and died; the cause of death was streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. The concerns were that emergency medical cover and clear arrangements for patients should be available when GP surgeries close for training, and that the delay of almost 24 hours contributed to the outcome.

    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 Fountain Medical Centre; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to identify urgent presentations requiring immediate hospital referral

    Wider context from the report

    “(5) No criticism is made that a precise diagnosis was not made. Nevertheless had Ms Richardson been seen on the 21st November 2013 it would have been obvious that she was extremely unwell and that her presentation was urgent and that time was of the essence and that she should have been referred to hospital immediately. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Unavailability of a doctor to respond to genuine emergencies during routine surgery closures

    Wider context from the report

    “(3) On the occasions where there is a genuine emergency as there clearly was here, a Doctor should be available to deal with such an emergency notwithstanding that the surgery is closed for routine work, particularly when the training session is within normal surgery hours. ”
