A four-year-old girl has tragically died from sepsis following "missed opportunities" at hospital.
Eva Hayden was rushed to Alder Hey's emergency department after she collapsed only weeks after Christmas in January 2020. She tragically died shortly after despite the best attempts by both Eva's father and paramedics to resuscitate her.
Hospitals have since apologised to Eva's parents for 'poor communication' after a coroner called for changes to help prevent similar future fatalities. Young Eva developed sepsis after her family were not informed of the risks of a condition being investigated and the susceptibility to infection, the Liverpool Echo reports.
