Tommy Gillman, from Coddington, died in December 2022 aged just 10 weeks
A coroner has expressed her concerns regarding the emergency paediatric care provided at a Nottinghamshire hospital following a baby boy's tragic death. Tommy Gillman was just 10 weeks old when he died on December 8, 2022, at Leicester Royal Infirmary due to a salmonella Brandenburg meningitis infection.
There is no salmonella meningitis specific medical or national guidance, Dr Didcock explained. She said: "I find that the trust appropriately made a referral to the UK Health Security Agency, and that this team investigated for any other cases of salmonella around the area, and also considered possible sources of infection, though unfortunately neither the source nor any additional cases were found.
The coroner added that she will issue a Prevention of Future Deaths report addressed to Sherwood Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs King's Mill Hospital. She also explained that she welcomes the changes introduced by the trust since Tommy's death, particularly to the paediatric early warning score electronic system.
"He showed us what being strong really is, so we need to be strong for him during this difficult time of our lives. As much as the inquest has been incredibly difficult, we are relieved that we finally have some answers as to what happened with Tommy.
