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.
