1. 1. ECG not handed over to A&E staff

   “In the course of the Inquest hearing, it became apparent that the NWAS electronic record referred to an ECG having been carried out on Mr [name redacted] by the ambulance staff at 11.35pm, prior to his first admission to A&E. However the fact of an ECG and its relevant features was not recorded in the notes of the A&E nurse who received the verbal handover from NWAS personne! on arrival at RPH, and no ECG trace was handed over or seen by A&E staff.”

2. 2. ECG traces not routinely handed over to A&E staff

   “Ince in the A&E department, that NWAS staff often have to be asked for ECG traces which they have obtained on patients, and will often have to return to their vehicles to get them, rather than handing them over to A&E staff as a matter of course when delivering patients to the department.”
