    Report summary

    Harold Blackshaw died from COVID-19 on 1 March 2021 after falls, a fractured neck of femur, hip dislocations, surgery and subsequent admissions to hospital and care homes. The report raised concern that Grange Ward lacked an admission process to assess patients’ individual needs and put appropriate falls-prevention measures in place.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to assess patients' needs and required measures during the admission process

    Wider context from the report

    “During the course of the inquest evidence was given regarding the admission process for patients admitted to the Haywood Hospital. Specifically the rehabilitation ward which Mr Blackshaw was admitted to (“Grange Ward”). It was heard that this ward was primarily for the rehabilitation of elderly patients that were recovering from injuries; some after falls. Some patients were high risk of falls. The evidence given suggested that there was no admission process which assessed the needs of each patient and what measures should be put in place to meet their needs, before they came to the ward, or when they were on the ward. This gives me concern that a future death could result. ”
