Brighton: Woman left in hospital corridor for hours before death

Senior nurse Alice Edmondson said staff were allocated to work on the hallways everyday, which are often overcrowded and lack privacy.

“We would never move anyone to a corridor out of choice,” she said.

The hearing was told that having no patients in a corridor was a priority for the trust, which runs the Brighton hospital.

Following the inquest’s conclusion, Mr Ifill said the hospital “could have done more” and the duty of care was “absolutely shocking”.

“She felt abandoned. She felt alone,” he said.

“If I fall sick in Brighton I’ve got no faith to go to that hospital. It just feels really bad in there.”
