RoseHarfleet dies at Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford
Summary:
On January 30, 2024, Rose Harfleet, a 12-year-old girl with a global developmental delay (GDD), passed away in Guildford following hergradual vomiting.衲et was treated for constipation but died due to a cardiorespiratory arrest caused by intestinal obstruction, linking to chronic intermittent constipation identified in her earlier diagnosis and noting she succumbed to a sudden onset of temporary diarrhea.

This tragic event was brought into light by a coroner who ruled the cause as failure of medical staff to "appreciate" her deteriorating condition, as observed by her symptoms and the doctors’ actions. Royal Surrey Hospital attributed the failure to negligence in listening to her medical needs, necessitating immediate transfer to St George’s Hospital (Tooting) for surgical intervention.

Key Points and Concerns:

  1. Role of Support Systems: The incident was widely covered, with UMAC press and visiting UK media noting Rose’s mother’s role in the family’s struggle, including her testifying against their doctor.
  2. Cultural Elements: The incident highlights a culture of exclusion against disabled children, where support from families and caregivers was lacking despite Rose’s deteriorated condition. Culture of exclusion came to light when her hospital staff persisted in denying her unsupported aid, contributing to her lack of continuity of care.
  3. Staff Training and Equitable Care: Despite failures, the hospital managed Rose for her promotion and arrangement at the emergency department, but failed to provide adequate surgical intervention, leading to her immediate demise. The incident underscored the need for more equitable care by staff, acknowledging the importance of listening to families and caregivers.

Conclusion:
RoseHarfleet’s tragic departure at Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford outcome underscored the need for a more inclusive approach to healthcare, emphasizing the role of family support, cultural sensitivity, and equitable care practices.
