Jury return verdict in Katarzyna Szymborska inquest

Two areas of concerns have been raised following an inquest into the death of a mum-of-three receiving care for her mental health. […]

Previously, the court heard that differences in language had made it difficult for clinicians to support Mrs Szymborska, who struggled to communicate in English without the aid of an interpreter. […]

Coroner Darren Stewart OBE told the court that he had identified two areas of concern in Mrs Szymborska’s care, although he stressed that these were not causative in her death.

Firstly, he will seek further clarity in the measures NSFT took to ensure that effective communication was enabled between Mrs Szymborska and those treating her. […]

“The court heard plenty of evidence that those processes and key meetings could have been postponed to other occasions when adequate interpretation support was available,” he said.
