The coroner’s concerns
This report was published as a scan, so its text was read automatically. Check the wording against the original before you quote it.
— (1) At the point of admission into the Accident and Emergency Department, Tae’jelle was taken into the waiting area without either the Receptionist or the Triage nurse having the opportunity to visually assess her, despite Tae’jelle being in a medically critical state. Tae’jelle was taken into the waiting area of reception, where she stopped breathing. It was only as a result of the intervention of a member of the public that this condition was discovered, and as a result of that involvement Tae’jelle was taken into the Resus Department, where further treatment failed to revive her. (2) Evidence was given at the Inquest as to a Guidance recommended by The Royal College of Emergency Medicine upon dealing with the Emergency Assessment of Emergency patients. Such a Protocol provides for Reception to inform the Triage nurse of suspected seriously unwell patient, with the opportunity of then escalating the treatment of that patient. (3) Evidence was given at the Inquest that this opportunity was missed as neither the receptionist nor the Triage Nurse were provided with the opportunity to make the necessary assessment, despite the fact that the Department was not busy at the time.
