The coroner’s concerns
– 6 (1) The NHS 111 script for scratches grazes or minor wounds is available for head injuries but can lead to a non clinical outcome and basic first aid advice being given. The fact is, however, either a scratch, graze or nick above the neck indicates that either has been a head injury of some degree or other and so the script which should correctly be followed is the head injury pathway. If injuries above the neck were excluded from the scratches grazes and nicks pathway then the possibility of basic first aid advice being given is eliminated as all head injury answered result in clinician advice being sought.
