Gross failings at a hospital led to a woman's preventable death from sickle cell anaemia, a coroner has said.

Irene Dzifa King Arthur, 47, from Church Crookham, near Fleet, Hampshire, died in August 2024 at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey.

Her husband, Dominic Kwamena King Arthur, described her as an "expert patient" who "understood her condition" and "yet throughout her admission, she was not listened to".
