flag A jury ruled staff neglect at Sherwood Oaks Hospital contributed to Sophie Towle’s 2024 death after a blood clot following cardiac arrest.

flag A jury has concluded that neglect by staff at Sherwood Oaks Hospital contributed to the death of 22-year-old Sophie Towle on May 27, 2024, after she died from a blood clot following a cardiac arrest. flag The inquest found systemic failures, including understaffing, overreliance on temporary staff, inadequate risk assessments for blood clots and mobility, poor wound care, and a transfer from a Doncaster facility in April 2024 without clinical justification. flag The jury determined these factors likely played a significant role in her death, which followed self-harm on May 12 and inadequate supervision. flag Assistant coroner Alexandra Pountney will issue a Prevention of Future Deaths Report to the involved NHS trusts.
