The coroner’s concerns
– (1) Although it was established on the balance of probability (after hearing the clinicians and an independent expert Consultant Nephrologist) that the absence of peritoneal dialysis on THIS occasion did not contribute to the death, the absence of any arrangements to provide peritoneal dialysis at hospitals other than the renal unit at Canterbury raised a concern. (2) There was an apparent absence of knowledge on the part of the treating clinicians at Maidstone Hospital that peritoneal dialysis could not be arranged either during the day or over –night at that hospital as there were no trained staff available nor was the equipment available. There were no arrangements in place to transport the equipment from the home of a patient to the hospital.
