A pregnant mum who died from a catastrophic blood clot after a series of tests was 'let down', an inquest has heard. A doctor admitted there were 'significant failings' in the care of Laura Barnes., who collapsed and died in May 2022.

An inquest into the 22-year-old's death yesterday (April 30) heard she was 15 weeks pregnant with Dexter when she was first admitted to the Royal Blackburn Hospital in January 2022. She was diagnosed as having a clot in a vessel within her skull and was started on tinzaparin, an anti-coagulant which is used to treat deep venous thrombosis and prevent blood clots from forming.

Laura, who has another son, Jackson, also later told her mum, Jennifer, that she had never been weighed during her admission for the stroke in January. As a result the level of medication prescribed was insufficient to prevent Laura from developing a further blood clot.
