The coroner's concerns
1. patient not given prescribed antibiotics after discharge
“On the 5" November 2015 he was seen by his GP and he had just been discharged from Wythenshawe Hospital three days previously. No discharge letter or note had been provided to the GP nor had the patient been sent home with any of the antibiotics which had been prescribed to him by the hospital doctor. Neither the care staff nor the GP was aware that he should have been taking these antibiotics”
