LESSONS
In a statement, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust said changes had been made based on lessons learned from Ali’s care, adding, ‘DVTS are very difficult to diagnose clinically, and Alison was considered at low risk of developing a DVT. However, there were opportunities during her care to carry out investigations and start treatment that may have resulted in a different outcome for Alison. While no amount of money will make up for the loss of Alison, we do, however, hope that the settlement will bring some security to Mr Taylor and their three children.’
