YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The family of a teenager who died suddenly from a blood clot linked to a birth control pill says more needs to be done "to prevent this tragedy from ever happening again".

Aine Rose Hurst, 19, died in March last year from a blood clot in her brain, linked to her prescribed oral contraceptive pill Femodette.

Speaking to Sky News' The UK Tonight programme with Sarah-Jane Mee, Aine's family called for more awareness of the risks around birth control pills.

In a statement to Sky News, the Bolton GP Federation said: "We would like to express our sincere condolences to Miss Hurst's family at this very difficult time.

"In relation to the GP, as his employer, we carried out our own internal review and considered this alongside the findings of the inquest.

"Our review and the inquest both concluded that the GP consulted with Miss Hurst in line with the UK Medical Eligibility Criteria (UKMEC), the nationally recognised guidance used by clinicians when a patient requests this medication."
