An inquest has found Homerton Hospital and a GP practice failed to change an 87-year-old s indwelling catheter for almost a year, leading to his death.
Macaulay Wilson died in September last year, leading to an investigation being launched by senior coroner Mary Hassell, from St Pancras Coroner’s Court, on October 8.
In a prevention of future deaths report, published at the conclusion of the inquest on on May 7, Ms Hassell wrote: Mr Wilson died because a failure to change his indwelling catheter for almost a year caused urosepsis. The catheter should have been changed every 12 weeks.
