Inquest Reveals Woman Left in Hospital Corridor Before Death

Tamara Davis, 31, died from sepsis after spending hours unattended in a hospital corridor, highlighting systemic issues in NHS care.

Tamara Davis was left on a trolley in a hospital corridor for about 10 hours at the Royal Sussex County Hospital before her death.
The inquest concluded that her death was due to natural causes, specifically multiple organ failure and sepsis caused by influenza.
Despite being placed in a corridor, the coroner found no direct evidence that this contributed to her death.
Concerns were raised about the increasing use of corridors for patient care due to overwhelming pressure on the NHS system.
The coroner plans to write to the Department of Health and NHS England to address the issue of corridor care.
