'Significant' lessons have been learnt following the tragic death of a Warrington teenager, an inquest heard.
Katie Wilkins died after a short battle with a rare form of leukaemia at the age of 14 on July 31, 2020 as the inquest into her death began at the Gerard Majella Courthouse earlier this week.
Katie was transferred to Alder Hey from Warrington Hospital following weeks of vaginal pains and deterioration - which eventually led to a leukaemia diagnosis. While at Alder Hey, she was sent to the High dependency unit to ensure she had around the clock care and on July 29, an operation was planned.
