The family of a teenage girl who died from a rare form of leukaemia said they fear a similar outcome could happen again.
Katie Wilkins, 14, died on July 31, 2020 from an intracranial haemorrhage caused by acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APML). An inquest ruled on Thursday that the teenager’s death was contributed to by medical neglect and could have been prevented.
Katie first fell ill in June 2020 when she felt unbearable pains while visiting her sister in London. After a short illness and five hospital visits, she died in Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
