Destructive investigations: our experience of the investigation into our son's death

Summary

In December 2022 Dylan Cope, a 9 year old boy, died of sepsis after being discharged from hospital. A coroner found the boy's death “would have been avoided if he had not been erroneously discharged”, and said what happened "amounts to a gross failure of basic care”.

In this recording, Corine Cope shares some key aspects on the NHS investigation into her son Dylan's death from her parental perspective, with a view to encouraging change.

Hi, I cant seem to get this link to work - it takes me through to the website, but there is no video or sound. I am really keen to listen to this parent and learn from their terrible experience.
