    John Andrew Mellor · 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

    John Andrew Mellor had diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease and deep vein thrombosis, and died on 3 October 2018 after collapsing at home following the discovery of a very low blood count requiring urgent transfusion. The report describes repeated difficulties in arranging required blood tests, with responsibility passed between agencies and no clear shared-care or testing arrangement. It also raises concern that communications about referrals and test requests were not sent directly to primary care, relying instead on the patient to pass on vital information.

    How this individual concern was interpreted

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

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to establish shared care arrangements or identify an organisation for blood sampling for drug monitoring

    Wider context from the report

    “That there appears to have been a systematic failure to ensure that blood tests are conducted, where required, for individuals under specialist, secondary care for renal failure. Individual patients, who may not be local to the specialist centre, will inevitably fail to have the appropriate assessments, care and treatment, in the absence of a clear line of responsibility. The failure to establish a shared care arrangement, or at least to ensure that an organisation was identified in order to undertake blood sampling for drug monitoring, is insecure and unsafe. It is also concerning that responses or updates to referrals, as well as requests for tests in the community, have not been communicated to primary care directly, with the sole reliance on a patient to pass vital documentation on to his primary healthcare provider. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Notify the CCG that the Practice was asked to monitor a red-status medication and report the associated significant event.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “The Practice should have alerted the CCG to the fact that they were being asked to arrange monitoring of a red status medication so that the CCG could liaise with secondary care to arrange a Medication Management. We wrote to the CCG on 11 February 2019 to notify them of this significant event and the upcoming Coroner’s Inquest. Please find a copy of that letter enclosed with this response.”

    How this respondent position was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    The Practice should not accept responsibility for monitoring EPO; the CCG will liaise directly with the Trust and medicines management.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “During a telephone call with ████████ at the CCG on 29 March 2019, the Practice was informed that we should not agree to the monitoring of red category medications and should notify the CCG urgently if asked to do so. The CCG are liaising directly with the Trust and also with Medications Management regarding this issue. At the request of the Trust we have not written to the Trust and the CCG are liaising with them directly in relation to the issues identified by the Practice and by the CCG.”
