    Report summary

    Sewa Kaur Chaddha was found collapsed at home after taking her husband’s medication instead of her own for several days, including diabetes medication. She died in hospital from hyponatraemia caused by treatment for hypoglycaemia resulting from the accidental ingestion of hypoglycaemic medication. Concerns included the identical appearance of the couple’s dosset boxes, small patient-name labels, and the absence or poor dissemination of guidance for pharmacists supplying medication to people with cognitive impairment.

    How this individual concern was interpreted

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

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to adequately differentiate dosset boxes for elderly or cognitively impaired patients living at the same address

    Wider context from the report

    “1) The medications were provided to the couple by the local pharmacy, then known as Lloyds Pharmacy, in separate dosset boxes. Mrs Chaddha’s medications were provided on a weekly basis. Mr Chaddha’s were provided on a monthly basis. (2) Both patients were elderly and had cognitive impairment. (3) The two patients’ dosset boxes were identical to each other except for a small pharmacist’s label with small type with the relevant patient’s name. (4) Mrs Chaddha used one of Mr Chaddha’s dosset boxes, rather than her own, for several days. (5) Evidence was given at the inquest that there was no guidance or policy in place for Pharmacists to follow when issuing medication to patients with cognitive impairments, or if there was, it was not well disseminated among the pharmacist population. (6) Evidence was given at the inquest that dosset boxes of different colours or labels with different colours were not routinely given to elderly or cognitively impaired patients living at the same address. ”
