Coroner says GPs' knowledge of anorexia 'woeful'

Coroner says GPs' knowledge of anorexia 'woeful' A coroner said GPs' knowledge of eating disorders was "woeful and inadequate" after an inquest into the death of a severely anorexic woman.

Madeline Wallace, from Peterborough, died in January 2018 from sepsis.

Coroner Sean Horstead told the inquest at Huntingdon Law Courts "different clinical decisions" would not have prevented her death.

He delivered a narrative conclusion saying Miss Wallace died of natural causes caused by severe anorexia. BBC News
