A 20-year-old cancer patient died from preventable infection due to poor hygiene and care lapses at a Manchester hospital.
A 20-year-old Lancaster University student, Joshua Abbott-Littler, died from multidrug-resistant sepsis on June 26, 2025, at The Christie hospital in Manchester.
An inquest found his infection, caused by CPE bacteria, likely spread through cross-contamination from another patient due to poor hand hygiene and failure to follow aseptic techniques during care of his PICC line.
Though he had a history of cancer, including Hodgkin lymphoma and a rare leukaemia, the coroner ruled the immediate cause of death was preventable lapses in infection control.
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust acknowledged the failures and committed to improving safety protocols.
