8. Patients who died

 
Recommendations
  • Training must be provided for junior doctors in the recognition of critical illness and the immediate management of fluid and oxygen therapy in these patients.
  • Consultants must supervise junior doctors more closely and should actively support juniors in the management of patients rather than only reacting to requests for help.
  • Junior doctors must seek advice more readily. This may be from specialised teams e.g. outreach services or from the supervising consultant.
