Call for clarity over NHS role after misdiagnosis death The mother of a woman who died after a misdiagnosis by an NHS worker she mistakenly believed was a GP has called for better patient protection.
Emily Chesterton, from Salford, died after being seen twice by a physician associate, a role which the NHS said supports doctors in diagnosis.
The 30-year-old, who lived in London, was told her calf pain was a sprain, when she actually had a blood clot.
Her mother Marion said more regulation was needed around physician associates. BBC News
