A Care Quality Commission (CQC) prosecution hearing concerning Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust is scheduled to take place next week.

The Thirlwall Inquiry heard evidence from Jane Tomkinson, the newly appointed Chief Executive of the Countess of Chester Hospital (CoCH). Her testimony marked a critical moment in the Inquiry following Lucy Letby's conviction, underscoring the urgent need for reform to ensure patient safety and rebuild trust within the hospital.

Recent reports have revealed serious concerns about the quality and safety of maternity care at Leeds Teaching Hospitals (LTH) NHS Trust.

The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (UHS) is under extensive investigation amid serious allegations of medical negligence.

In May 2021, our client visited her local hospital complaining of persistent right flank pain and a dull ache in her back. She was prescribed antibiotics for a suspected kidney infection (pyelonephritis) and referred for an ultrasound scan.

Families whose children were treated by former consultant orthopaedic surgeon Yaser Jabbar at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) have described independent reviews into their care as a “whitewash” and a “final insult.” These allegations raise significant questions about patient safety, hospital transparency, and the adequacy of investigatory practices.
