Hospital Failures Revealed in Inquest of Woman's Death in A&E

Coroner's report highlights missed opportunities and systemic issues in overcrowded Nottingham emergency department.

  • Inga Rublite, 39, died after waiting over eight hours in a crowded A&E with escalating symptoms of a brain haemorrhage.
  • Hospital staff missed two critical chances to diagnose and treat Rublite due to excessive workload and reduced medical staff.
  • Rublite was found unresponsive under a coat after being mistakenly discharged when she didn't respond to being called.
  • Changes are being implemented at the hospital to prevent similar incidents, including increased staffing and new procedures.
  • The Nottingham University Hospitals Trust has apologized to Rublite's family and acknowledged the missed opportunities in her care.
