Concerns over Trust’s failure to keep notes of discussion with patient

Nursing staff in the Belfast Trust provided appropriate care to a patient before he underwent elective vascular surgery. However, we found it of significant concern that the Trust failed to keep records of a discussion it had with him about the surgery’s risks.

Report recommendations

We asked the Trust to apologise for the failings we found.

We also recommended that the findings of our investigation report be discussed by the Trust's senior management team.
