Student was not initially tested for sepsis despite early signs, inquest told

Staff at Southmead hospital in Bristol also apparently failed to carry out all the observations needed to keep Maddy Lawrence safe, the hearing at Avon coroner's court was told.

Lawrence hip was dislocated when she was tackled during a game for UWE Bristol on 9 March 2022. She was taken to hospital, developed sepsis, had a series of operations including a leg amputation and died of multiple organ failure 16 days later. The inquest has heard she spent more than five hours lying on the pitch awaiting an ambulance. It also heard a bomb hoax had delayed a CT scan.
