The coroner’s concerns
– 1. On the multiple occasions that Mr Chadwick was assessed, and his cough syncope brought to the attention of the medical professionals, there was no advice given him to stop driving and to notify the DVLA of his cough syncope, either orally or in writing. I am concerned that clinicians may fail to provide similar guidance to other patients, which may lead to episodes of syncope whilst driving, with potentially fatal consequences.
