Parents hope 'lessons are learned' after death of daughter at Priory unit

The parents of troubled woman who died at a mental unit have said they hope 'lessons are learned' following an inquest into the tragedy.

Jurors also heard that a health assistant had not followed policy, although that was not found to have contributed to Amina's death. "The last year was a real struggle for Amina. She was miles away from home and despite us visiting and supporting her as much as we could, we felt she was isolated. All we desperately wanted was to at least to get her closer to home and then back to her family.

"We thank the jury for returning a verdict of misadventure and for recognising the systemic issues which contributed to Amina’s death. The a 'straight-A student' who dreamed of becoming a doctor or nurse had also been at The Priory's Cheadle Royal Hospital for over five months when she was found unconscious in her en-suite bathroom on February 24, 2022. She was rushed to Wythenshawe Hospital with her family making the six-hour journey from Dorset to be with her. A clinical decision was made, in consultation with Lauren's mother Lindsey, and her loved ones, to end her life support and she died two days later.
