    Kathleen Rose WARD · 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

    Kathleen Rose WARD, who had terminal mesothelioma, was admitted to Hull Royal Infirmary’s emergency department on 19 February 2025 because no bed was available at Queens Centre. She remained there for 21 hours and died at Hull Royal Infirmary on 20 February 2025; the inquest recorded pneumonia as the immediate cause of death, with mesothelioma, immunotherapy-induced myocarditis and chronic kidney disease contributing. The principal concern was that insufficient specialist end-of-life bed capacity resulted in patients receiving palliative care in unsuitable emergency-department environments, with potential delays to appropriate emergency treatment.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to move people requiring ward-based care out of the emergency department

    Wider context from the report

    “1. During the evidence it was heard that the emergency department still has people being held in their department who should be getting ward based care. Additionally, that there has been no increase in the bed space available for Queens Centre. This meant that I could have no reassurance that the circumstances of Mrs Ward’s death would not be repeated, but also that people requiring emergency treatment may be delayed in receiving the appropriate emergency care. ”

    Raymond LEAKE · 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

    Raymond LEAKE fell and sustained a head injury in hospital on 13 February 2025. An authorised CT scan was not booked by radiology and was carried out more than 13 hours after the fall, revealing a catastrophic bleed; he died on 16 February 2025. The principal concerns were the failure to complete and audit revised radiology processes, the delayed scan, inadequate communication with his family, and poor record keeping.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to complete audits of radiology scanning processes

    Wider context from the report

    “1. During the evidence it was heard that efforts were made to review why the scan was missed. No exact reason was found, and it was believed likely human error. It was acknowledged that a number of processes had been put into place in March in an effort to improve the radiology scanning processes including training, markers and portering; however, the audit of these new processes was still not completed by the time Mr Leake’s death came to light. I was informed the believed reason for not reviewing the audit was staff numbers. This meant that I could have no reassurance that these processes are working appropriately or that further urgent scans would not be missed in future. ”
