    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to communicate treatment plans and condition-related risks to patients and confirm their understanding

    Wider context from the report

    “a) When investigating, diagnosing or treating a patient’s presentation it seems reasonable that there should be good communication between clinician and patient with regard to the treatment plan. Understanding of the patient should be confirmed with regard to any precautions or risks arising from the condition. In this matter, Eva’s parents had no knowledge of the pancytopenia or neutropenia under investigation and the risks of infection for Eva – such that this was not explained to the staff in the Emergency department at Alder Hey on 8th January 2020. Clinical practice should have prevented this eventuality. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure of clinical communication between Trusts about unresolved investigations

    Wider context from the report

    “b) When Eva missed the appointment at Ormskirk Hospital on the 25th November 2019 for her blood tests – there was no follow up by the hospital as there was an “assumption” that a follow-up orthopaedic appointment for cellulitis would investigate her neutropenia. The assumption was wrong and there was no clinical communication between the Trusts, which would have clarified that investigation of neutropenia had ceased without resolution. The onus for investigations cannot be on a four year old or her parents who were unaware of the potentially fatal implications. ”
