Hospital Death (Clinical Procedures and medical management) related deaths

Concerns summary (AI summary) Inadequate management of patient's belongings and medication on admission, failure to seek crucial past psychiatric history, and poor discharge planning for a vulnerable patient without a GP.

Action Planned (AI summary) The Trust investigated the concerns, interviewing staff and reviewing medical records, finding that tablets left at the bedside were intended to be destroyed by a pharmacist and were locked in a medicine cupboard. The Trust booked and paid for a taxi to take the deceased home after discharge, as he had no clothes. The Trust will ensure staff are aware that patients can self-refer to the RAID service and is considering how to best communicate this information to all staff working in Tower Hamlets. The Trust will also ensure clinical discussions from daily clinical meetings are recorded in patient medical records and that junior doctors discuss patients seen during liaison duties in consultant supervision.
