Medics failed to spot that a woman was inflicted with a brain injury after she fell over in Glasgow’s super-hospital.
The woman was receiving treatment at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Govan when she fell in a bathroom.
None of the nurses or doctors who monitored her noticed that she was suffering from a bleed on the brain after the accident.
Her son spotted blood on the woman’s bed sheets and also discovered a wound on her arm that the staff had missed.
It emerged from a scan that the woman had a potentially lethal haematoma between the brain and skull and was rushed for emergency surgery.
The patient’s son submitted a complaint to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde launched a probe to investigate the incident.
They concluded that a risk assessment of the woman falling in hospital had not properly been done.
