A hospital consultant tells a jury that the former nurse stood watching as a baby girl became unwell.
A hospital consultant says he saw nurse Lucy Letby standing next to a baby girl who was deteriorating and was doing nothing to intervene, a court has heard.
Dr Ravi Jayaram told the jury at Letby's retrial he had helped to deliver the infant, known as Baby K, who was born 15 weeks premature, in February 2016.In the hours after her birth, Dr Jayaram was overseeing the baby's care, who was in an incubator in the intensive care room of the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
"We had had an external review and we'd not found anything obvious and I was sitting there, and I'll be very honest, I felt very uncomfortable. "My internal dialogue was saying 'stop being stupid, get on with your work' and I needed to just go in and reassure myself that everything was OK."The consultant said when he went into the baby's room, he found Baby K's oxygen saturation levels were dropping and she was deteriorating.
