Ryan Bowman's death leads to new voice for patients and carers

Ryan Bowman, a 33-year-old man with multiple complex medical conditions, died in 2025 after receiving suboptimal care at Mount Gambier Hospital. His family claimed their concerns about his deteriorating condition were ignored despite their detailed knowledge of his medical history. An independent report confirmed delays and mismanagement in his treatment. In response, Ryan's parents established the Ryan Bowman Legacy of Care Foundation to advocate for improved systems allowing patients and caregivers to escalate concerns in hospitals. This led to the South Australian government announcing plans to implement new protocols inspired by 'Ryan's Rule' from Queensland, which was created after the death of a child due to undiagnosed infections. The proposed protocols aim to ensure that patient and caregiver concerns are addressed promptly and effectively.
