A new NHS England report has revealed that trusts across Newcastle, Hull and Northern Lincolnshire reported a combined 20 so-called ‘never events’ during 2025/26, as more than 400 serious patient safety incidents were recorded across England.

Serious concerns have been raised about patient safety and standards of care at Broomfield Hospital, following a series of critical findings and ongoing scrutiny from regulators and public bodies.

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’.

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.
