Abergele man died after scan results left on desk for six days

A man who needed urgent treatment could have lived longer if hospital staff had not left his scan results on a desk for six days, a coroner has said.

Trevor Reynolds' CT scan at Glan Clwyd Hospital on 3 May 2021 revealed he needed urgent care for a blood clot.

But the 78-year-old, from Abergele, Conwy county, died 12 days later after a slow start to his treatment.

Coroner for North Wales East and Central John Gittins recorded a narrative conclusion.

He will now raise a prevention of future deaths report.

Mr Reynolds was being treated for cancer of the oesophagus at the time, but needed to be urgently referred to the clinician after his scan revealed the clot.

On 6 May the scan results were placed on the consultant's desk, but he was out of the office for another six days.

It was not until a home visit from an occupational therapist, who alerted Mr Reynolds' GP of his poor condition, that he was admitted to hospital.
