A paramedic has said she felt a colleague "had failed" teenager Quinn Evie Milburn-Beadle - who died in December 2018 - and that she developed misgivings about the care she had been given within minutes of arriving on the scene.
Speaking at Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service (HCPTS) hearing considering the conduct of Gavin Wood, who was the first paramedic on the scene of Quinn Evie's death, the second paramedic, named only as Colleague 1 during proceedings, explained that there had not been time enough for Mr Wood to have completed "must-do" protocols before declaring that Quinn Evie had died.
Quinn Evie was just 17 when - on December 9 2018 - she died not far from her family's Shildon home. Her case has been among those highlighted by whistleblowers as featuring issues with North East Ambulance Service (NEAS)'s disclosures to coroner's courts.
