An inquest hearing was told of "serious concerns" about the care received by a 22-year-old mother during her stay at a Nottinghamshire hospital. Jodie McCann was admitted to the King's Mill Hospital, in Sutton-in-Ashfield, on March 16 last year and was found to have gallstone pancreatitis.
Jodie suffered a cardiac arrest at the hospital on the morning of March 18 and was eventually transferred to Queen's Hospital in Burton on March 22. It was there where she lost her life on April 2 after having phoned her mother on March 17, saying that she thought she was having a heart attack.
The inquest into Jodie McCann's death was first opened last November and a further hearing took place at Nottingham's Council House on Friday (February 3), as part of a pre-inquest review ahead of the full hearing. During Friday's hearing, Assistant coroner Dr Elizabeth Didcock explained one of its primary purposes in terms of the prevention of future death.
