    Report summary

    Clay Daniel Wanckiewicz was born in very poor condition following failed forceps delivery and caesarean section complicated by a deeply impacted head, and died at 22 minutes of age from skull fractures. The principal concerns were confirmation bias, insufficiently open-minded assessment of the overall clinical picture, inadequate staff training and a continuing risk that similar situations could place mothers and babies at risk.

    How this individual concern was interpreted

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

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Staff reluctance to accept confirmation bias and alter practices

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) Failure of members of staff to understand the concept of confirmation bias. (2) A reluctance on the part of staff to accept situations of confirmation bias and be open to altering practices. (3) I am not satisfied the Newsletters had been considered and digested by all staff. (4) The training program in place is delivered over a 12-month period thus many staff members will not have had that training and there is a risk that confirmation bias situations will continue placing mothers and their babies at risk. Furthermore, some staff members who were involved in Clay’s management were not prioritised to have that training. These are the reasons for my belief that there continues to be a risk. ”
