Nursing student died after gross failure at mental health unit
Nursing student Cerys Lupton-Jones died after failures in the care she was given at Park House mental health unit, which was run by Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust and has since closed. The coroner at the inquest into her death pointed to a culture that enabled staff to falsify observation logs, and said action by the nurse in charge amounted to gross failure. The nurse – the sole nurse on duty at the critical time – has since referred herself to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
