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’.

Recent figures have raised ongoing concerns about patient safety within gynaecology services at Northern Lincolnshire & Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG), which provides care at Diana Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole & District Hospital.

Expert solicitors at Switalskis have been contacted by more former patients of a Sussex hospital trust which faces a police inquiry as people continue to seek support for errors in their treatment.

Expert medical negligence solicitors at Switalskis have again expressed their concerns over patient safety at a County Durham NHS Trust after receiving more calls from patients worried about the breast cancer care they received.

Medical negligence solicitors at Switalskis are supporting calls for urgent action following the release of interim findings from the National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation, led by Baroness Valerie Amos.

A Coroner has concluded that a newborn baby who was born prematurely in the early hours of Christmas Day 2023 would likely have survived if missed opportunities in his mother’s care to administer antenatal steroids had not occurred.
