If you or your child had an orthopaedic operation at the Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, you could claim compensation. This includes both planned and emergency orthopaedic procedures.
An independent expert originally found following a limited review of one surgeon’s patients that operations involving nine children fell “below expected standards”. The press release from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH) added that the care some children received had “impacted on their quality of life.” This investigation has led to one specialist surgeon being suspended.
An expert clinical panel is now set to review the care of almost 800 patients who’ve undergone planned surgical procedures performed by the surgeon. This includes emergency orthopaedic procedures on both adults and children.
