Mother’s instinct not addressed, report on death of boy sent home from Rotherham A&E says

Review of 2022 death of Yusuf Mahmud Nazir calls for national guidance on taking into account parents’ intuition

A report into the death of a five-year-old Rotherham boy sent home from A&E has called for national guidance to take into account parents’ intuition that “something feels very wrong” about their child.

Yusuf Mahmud Nazir died of pneumonia and sepsis at Sheffield children’s hospital on 23 November 2022, almost a week after his parents first raised concerns that he was unwell.
