The inquest at Nottingham Coroner’s Court heard Mr Hussain first called 999 on the morning of 12 May, complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting, and was mistakenly told to expect a call from his GP within 24 hours. <\/p>\n
Upon a second 999 call, Mr Hussain was told to go to a walk-in centre, which he did. <\/p>\n
He was triaged to the urgent treatment centre the same day, but discharged by 11:29 BST. <\/p>\n
Assistant coroner Elizabeth Didcock said during a third 999 call on 12 May she found “the seriousness of [Mr Hussain’s] condition was not recognised”. <\/p>\n
On 14 May during a call to 111, Mr Hussain was told an ambulance would attend.<\/p>\n
Dr Didcock said at this stage it was likely Mr Hussain had developed sepsis.<\/p>\n
A request for an ambulance was sent digitally to East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) but was subsequently not deemed serious enough for attendance. <\/p>\n
The court heard non-clinical staff making the assessment looked at limited information on its system, rather than the whole sequence of events.<\/p>\n
This meant Mr Hussain’s log of calls and what happened during them was not looked at.<\/p>\n
The coroner said if an ambulance had been sent at that point, Mr Hussain “would have been likely identified as having sepsis.”<\/p>\n
Dr Didcock said the process for assessing the calls was unsafe, adding “the 111, EMAS and Nottingham Emergency Medical Services (NEMS) interface is not providing enough and\/or timely care.”<\/p>\n
After Mr Hussain’s fourth call to 999 at 20:23 on 14 May, he was referred to NEMS for another telephone clinical assessment. <\/p>\n
During the 999 call, which was heard in court, Mr Hussain was struggling to breathe and speak and told the call handler he was unable to walk. <\/p>\n
Dr Didcock told the court the NEMS assessment also “fell far below the standards”.<\/p>\n
An ambulance finally attended to Mr Hussain at 15:23 on 15 May but on its arrival, he suffered a cardiac arrest. He died in hospital the following day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The inquest at Nottingham Coroner’s Court heard Mr Hussain first called 999 on the morning of 12 May,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629555,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[13,12,14],"class_list":{"0":"post-629554","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115710453644996728","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629554"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629554\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
