The coroner’s concerns
– My concern is that Propranolol continues to be a drug which is widely prescribed, and often to young people reporting symptoms of anxiety, but that there continues to be an underappreciation of the level of risk posed by an elevated level of propranolol medication can be. Having reflected upon the H.S.S.I.B. report from 2020 mentioned above, which I had not considered at the time I conducted this inquest, I have reviewed whether my concern remains and that this report is necessary. I am confident that it does. The need to raise this concerns remains valid bearing in mind the evidence received during Imogen’s inquest, over four years on from the report. It may be that over subsequent years, the organisations who responded to the H.S.S.I.B. report have conducted a lot of work to improve guidance and awareness, but I feel it would be remiss of me not to go ahead and write this report. I feel it should be sent to the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence [N.I.C.E.]
