    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to recognise critical clinical red flags

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) The Clinical Advisor missed critical ‘red flags’ thereby failing to recognise the seriousness of the deceased’s condition (3) The Clinical Advisor gave inappropriate advice thereby failing to safeguard against the risk deterioration and ensure the safety of the deceased. (4) There was failure to make sufficient and timely welfare calls when a response could not be provided. (5) The Trust should review the training and mentoring of all existing Clinical Advisors with a clear and structured programme to regularly assess and re-assess the competencies of the Clinical Advisors. (6) The Trust should ensure there is proper training, assessment, mentoring and support provided for all newly appointed Clinical Assessors. (7) The Trust is failing to ensure its own target of auditing every month 3% of the calls of Clinical Advisors. In some months no audits at all have been performed. (8) In failing to carry such audits the Trust has identified that there are real concerns that there is no safety net in place to identify potential risks or training needs. (9) The Trust should take immediate steps to ensure the necessary resources are allocated to achieve at least the level of audit the Trust itself has determined necessary. (10) The Trust should have in place a structured response to actioning any deficiencies identified in such audits whether that be for individual Clinical Assessors or as a professional group including trend analysis. ”
