The coroner’s concerns
5 (1) Urgent oncology advice - The Trust describes access to urgent oncology advice through a queue-based triage system and accepts that delays may occur. The response does not demonstrate how time-critical immunotherapy toxicity is reliably prioritised or escalated when delays arise. (2) Immunotherapy alert card pathway - Patients are issued with an immunotherapy alert card intended to signal urgent risk. The Trust's response does not show that possession or presentation of an alert card triggers a distinct fast-track or priority pathway, instead linking it to the same triage arrangements. These matters create a risk of future deaths where patients experiencing immunotherapy toxicity may encounter delay in accessing specialist advice and where urgent risk signals do not result in priority assessment.
