Clinical treatment in hospital: Swansea Bay University Health Board Report Date 14/08/2026 Case Against Swansea Bay University Health Board Subject Clinical treatment in hospital Case Reference Number 202500895 Outcome Not Upheld Ms Q complained about the care and treatment her late father, Mr T, received between 14 and 20 October 2022 while at Morriston Hospital.
Specifically, we considered: • The management of Mr T’s renal care, and whether any delays in addressing his fluid overload and in commencing dialysis and steroids impacted on his death.
• Whether Mr T’s nursing care was appropriate, and whether a leg infection and sepsis were appropriately identified.
• Whether nursing staff should have identified Mr T’s deterioration on 19 October.
The investigation found that the management of Mr T’s renal care was appropriate and there were no delays in addressing his fluid overload and commencing dialysis and steroids.
The investigation also found that Mr T’s nursing care was appropriate, and signs of an infection were acted upon quickly. There was also no evidence to show that nursing staff failed to identify Mr T’s deterioration on 19 October.
The complaints were not upheld.
