School nurse admits 'oversight' over boy's allergy care plan before death

Nasar Ahmed’s care plan was downgraded despite his severe allergies that required him to have access to an EpiPen, inquest hears

A school nurse downgraded a healthcare plan for a teenager with severe allergies and asthma just months before his death, an inquest has heard.

Nasar Ahmed collapsed at Bow school, east London, on 10 November last year during a detention, and died four days later. The 14-year-old had asthma, severe eczema and was allergic to a host of foods including fish, nuts, wheat, apples and oranges, requiring him to have access to an EpiPen.
