💨 Abstract

A student, William Hewes, died from sepsis within 24 hours of being admitted to Homerton University Hospital due to delayed antibiotic administration. The hospital staff, including emergency medicine registrar Rebecca McMillan, failed to ensure the medicine was administered within an hour as per national guidelines. His mother, a consultant paediatrician at the hospital, repeatedly pleaded for the antibiotics.
