    Report summary

    Jean Waldron had a long-standing cervical spinal cord injury, vascular dementia and a sacral pressure ulcer, later developed a chest infection, and died at home in Worcester on 12 March 2025. Concerns were raised that a Team Leader carer removed wound dressings and attempted to clean the pressure sore despite instructions that carers were not licensed to provide wound care; the Tissue Viability Nurse said that using gauze was inappropriate and could have caused further complications. The report also questioned whether agency carers had received adequate training about the limits of their care and following specialist clinical advice.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of adequate training on following advice from specialist doctors and nurses

    Wider context from the report

    “In her evidence at the inquest a carer from your agency, who was a Team Leader, gave evidence that: (a) she had read and understood an email from the District Nurse Clinical Lead, dated 15.1.25, which made clear that carers should not provide any care in relation to Mrs. Waldron's pressure sore as they did not have the correct licence to provide wound care; and (b) despite that clear instruction, she had on 3 separate occasions thereafter removed soiled wound dressings from the pressure sore and attempted to clean the wound with saline and gauze because she felt that it was in the deceased's "best interests" so to do. The lead Tissue Viability Nurse who gave evidence at the inquest said that the use of gauze was inappropriate and would have led to further adverse complications with the pressure sore. It is particularly concerning that a carer who was a Team Leader acted in the way described, and suggests that carers employed by your agency may not have received adequate training about: (a) the limits of the care which they are able to provide; and (b) the need to accept and follow advice given by specialist doctors and nurses at all times. ”
