## Summary

An inquest heard that Oxford graduate Georgina Hodson, 27, died by suicide during a mental health crisis after a psychiatric nurse sent her alone in a taxi to an assessment centre. Ms Hodson diverted the taxi back to her flat, where she was later found; the case has raised concerns about how her transfer was arranged and followed up.

The nurse, Ifeoma Onuorah, said she believed the centre had been informed and apologised, telling the inquest she should have contacted it herself and arranged an escort or ambulance. The receiving team had not been told Ms Hodson was on her way, and a trust manager said staff should have checked with them. Her family criticised the care, while the coroner ruled her death a suicide; a toxicology report found she had taken an overdose.
