The coroner's concerns
1. lack of personal meeting to discuss re-take decision
“Barts and the London, both in terms of certain individuals within it and as an organisation, took its pastoral responsibilities very seriously indeed and made great efforts to support this student, there was one aspect of their processes that I think would benefit from review”
2. breach of patient confidentiality in mental health communication
“nurses and doctors working in mental health particularly, would benefit from a reminder of the difference between absorbing (and, if appropriate, acting upon) concerns raised by a patient's relatives, friends, tutors etc., and divulging a patient's private details”
