A Royal Derby Hospital Gynaecologist has recently been under investigation over potential, alleged cases of medical negligence up to June 2018.
The investigation has reportedly been looking into 272 former patients so far, with several potential cases of patients being ‘unnecessarily harmed’ during major surgery being put under further review. The surgeries being looked into are for serious matters including hysterectomies, prolapse repairs and ovary removals.
NHS England, which oversees care across the country, is conducting an external review of the consultant’s surgeries to establish the total number of patients who may require further investigation. The investigation looks to have been slightly delayed due to COVID-19, but the Royal Derby Hospital and NHS Trust have advised that all women who may need further investigation should be contacted by early October 2020.
Royal Derby Hospital Gynaecologist compensation claims
A lot can go wrong with medical procedures and treatment. As such, anyone who has ever suffered due to some form of medical negligence could be entitled to claim compensation.
If any of the patients under the care of the Royal Derby Hospital Gynaecologist in question are found to have suffered as a result of negligence, they could be eligible for compensation. In a legal case, it is essential to prove that any suffering experienced is the result of medical negligence rather than an inherent risk or known complication of treatment or surgery. It is in cases where we can establish that negligence has occurred that can lead to a successful claim for damages.
Following the Royal Derby Hospital Gynaecologist investigation, if you are contacted by the NHS Trust and advised that you have been harmed, you may have a case.
