David Nash had four phone calls with his GP practice and five calls with NHS 111, an inquest has heard
A neurosurgeon who investigated the death of a 26-year-old law student after a series of remote GP appointments concluded he probably would have lived if he had been taken to hospital earlier, an inquest has heard.
He was later transferred to Leeds General Infirmary for neurosurgery but he could not be saved and died on November 4. Earlier this week, assistant coroner Abigail Combe read a statement from GP expert Alastair Bint, who said a nurse should have organised an urgent in-patient appointment after the fourth phone consultation on November 2, 2020.
Mr Nash’s parents, Andrew and Anne Nash, from Nantwich, Cheshire, have campaigned to find out whether the mastoiditis he had developed would have been identified and easily treated with antibiotics if their son had undergone a face-to-face examination earlier.
