Sandra Phillpott picked up an infection on the trip
A much-loved mum died just four days after returning home from a dream trip to Egypt with her twin sister.
His report describes Ms Phillpott “as active and previously healthy”, and someone who had “preferred not to seek medical attention, expecting her symptoms to improve” over the weekend after arriving home. But she attended a walk-in centre on Monday, October 30 when she continued to feel ill and was sent to A&E by ambulance. There she had a 40-minute wait in the ambulance before being seen.
The report adds: “The likelihood Sandra had sepsis had been under appreciated, and there was a missed opportunity to provide timely antibiotic therapy and fluids.” A patient safety incident investigation report, provided to the inquest by Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, found doctors had delayed treating sepsis because initial treatment had focused upon ruling out a pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Mr Wilson said he wanted to raise concerns relating to the recognition of suspected sepsis, and the need for timely provision of treatment.
