The coroner’s concerns

– (1) The clinical care provided to Sam in the obstetric department was not escalated appropriately to more senior colleagues, (2) When Sam was being cared for in the community, there was no process to ensure the sharing of information or joining up of care between the midwives, out of hours, GP and obstetric department. (3) When Sam attended the Emergency Department as a post-natal patient (7 days post partum) the obstetric department were not involved in her care.
