The coroner's concerns
1. delayed GP review of post-discharge blood pressure and medication
“The discharge letter to her GP instructed a review within 1 week to check Mrs [name redacted] bloods and blood pressure, and to restart Losartan, and titrate the dose to her blood pressure”
2. delayed receipt of discharge communication
“the discharge letter was not received until 25.02.19”
3. inadequate timing of required GP follow-up
“the discharging hospital requires GP involvement within 1 week of discharge a delay of 3 days in requesting or advising that involvement is not acceptable”
