A PA performed an invasive procedure on a patient with a bladder infection and the patient died 48 hrs later from sepsis ➡️The c̴o̴v̴e̴r̴u̴p̴ review team report authors involved the PA who did the procedure.😳 How could this have any hope of being independent? That's why in court cases you don't have the accused having a decision making role in the courts judgement Their findings: Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust’s internal investigation found that the PA was not responsible for any errors, and that even if a urology doctor had been available, it was “unlikely” Mr Tucker’s treatment would have changed. PAs are dependent roles- why was a urologist not available? Were they not supervised? Why is a PA even doing such an invasive procedure? This case is so wrong on so many levels . Patient safety is being compromised
