## Resource

An 89-year-old man died after choking on unsuitable food at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, triggering a damning investigation into NHS Grampian’s failures. The health board admitted no proper system existed to prevent such errors, leading to a £75,000 fine and victim surcharge. Deeply regretful, leadership is rolling out urgent reforms — including staff training, color-coded trays, and a new mealtime coordinator — to ensure patient safety and rebuild trust. This tragedy underscores how critical even the smallest details are in healthcare. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
