Student hairdresser, 17, bled to death after medics accidentally tore her artery and hospital wouldn't admit who made mistake for fear of 'putting staff under more stress'

A hospital where a young hairdresser bled to death over 15 hours has been forced to admit a catalogue of 43 errors just weeks after it tried to hide the full details to avoid 'putting staff under more stress'.

Victoria Harrison died after an artery was torn during appendix surgery at Kettering General Hospital in Northamptonshire.

In the hours before she died the 17-year-old was so scared for her safety she texted a picture of her blood-soaked T-shirt to her boyfriend.

At her inquest in December Northamptonshire Coroner Anne Pember criticised the hospital for their 'poor' levels of care and said she believed Victoria's life could have been saved.
