A 22-year-old man who died from sepsis did not receive the antibiotics and fluids “with the urgency that he should have”, a coroner has said.
William Hewes died within 24 hours of being admitted to Homerton University Hospital in east London after his meningitis, caused by a meningococcal infection, developed into sepsis in January 2023.
There were delays in giving him potentially life-saving treatment due to communication errors between staff, Mary Hassell, senior coroner for north London, said.
Delivering a narrative verdict, she criticised the hospital but added that “I simply do not know” if earlier treatment would have saved Mr Hewes.
Mr Hewes became unwell at about 13:30 GMT on 20 January and said he felt cold and had a headache.
