The coroner's concerns

1. failure to perform timely CT scan for head injury patients on anticoagulants
“Please can you confirm what measures have been put in place to ensure patients with head injuries, especially those taking anti-coagulant medication, undergo CT scanning in accordance with NICE guidelines, particularly where there are service issues with CT scanners on site.”
