The family of six-year-old Flora Gentleman has raised serious concerns regarding the palliative care she received at Edinburgh's Royal Hospital for Children and Young People before her death. Disagreements among medical teams about her treatment reportedly led to distressing scenes at her bedside, prompting a complaint to NHS Lothian, which was upheld due to the family's negative experience.
Other families have echoed similar frustrations, citing unprofessional treatment and a lack of coordination among medical staff. NHS Lothian has acknowledged the issues and is working on improvements to end-of-life care for children.
