Hospital Neglect Contributes to Teen's Sepsis Death, Coroner Finds

Chloe Longster's family criticizes NHS for dismissing parental concerns and missing crucial treatment opportunities.

Chloe Longster, 13, died from sepsis at Kettering General Hospital after a series of medical failures.
An inquest revealed that delays in sepsis screening and antibiotic administration were key missed opportunities.
Chloe's mother, Louise Longster, stated that hospital staff dismissed her concerns about her daughter's condition.
The coroner concluded that Chloe's death was contributed to by neglect and multiple failures in her care.
Kettering General Hospital has since implemented changes, including improved sepsis management and staff training.
