Hospital apologises to family of woman (49) who died hours after lab staff failed to escalate abnormal blood test results

The hospital's failure to escalate abnormal blood test results, which should have alerted doctors to significant postoperative bleeding, played a crucial role in the tragic death.

Following the investigation, the verdict of medical misadventure highlights a critical lapse in following established procedures that could have perhaps saved Eilis Cronin-Walsh’s life.

In response to this case, the hospital issued an apology, acknowledging their responsibilities and the impact of their procedures on patient safety.
