The anniversary of Bethan Jones’ death from sepsis has once again brought into focus a devastating and all too familiar issue - the failure to recognise and treat sepsis quickly enough.

An expert medical negligence solicitor based in East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire has expressed ‘grave concerns’ over patient safety after it emerged that the organisation responsible for hospitals in the region has been placed into special measures.

Capacity issues, depleted services, poor inter-team relationships, racism and bullying were just some of the findings released by Baroness Amos in her Interim Report as part of the National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation, which  is examining 12 NHS Trusts and their maternity services.

The Supreme Court’s judgment handed down on February 18, 2026 was a landmark moment for all children who have seen their lives shortened through negligence, a number of whom we are currently supporting at Switalskis.

Expert medical negligence and maternity specialists at Switalskis have described reports questioning the standard of care at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust as ‘seriously concerning and in need of urgent attention’.

A West Yorkshire mother whose baby was stillborn after a series of missed opportunities pre-birth at Leeds General Infirmary has joined a group of families in delivering a letter to 10 Downing Street urging an inquiry into maternity care at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

Switalskis represents individuals who have raised serious concerns about orthopaedic treatment, including patients treated by consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dr Leslie Irwin, whose work is now under review at Spire Washington Hospital.

Expert medical negligence solicitors at Switalskis say the findings of a review  into the practice of limb reconstruction surgeon Yaser Jabbar at the world-famous Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) are ‘deeply troubling’.
