The coroner's concerns
1. lack of routine chemical thrombo prophylaxis for low risk lower limb injuries
“at the time it was not standard practice in either the Orthopaedic Department or the Emergency Department at Harrogate District Hospital to routinely administer Chemical Thrombo Prophylaxis to patients with conservatively treated lower limb injuries immobilising cast considered to be at low risk of venous thromboembolism”
