The parents of a student who died after being wrongly diagnosed in a series of remote GP appointments during the pandemic have said they do not think his death is “an isolated case”.

It comes after a coroner ruled 26-year-old David Nash would probably have survived a serious infection had he been allowed to see a doctor in person.
