Families come forward in wake of Shrewsbury and Telford maternity scandal

More families have come forward to speak to the inquiry into the recently discovered Shrewsbury and Telford maternity scandal.

There are families who have been battling for justice for years that are now a part of hundreds of families speaking to the inquiry. Others who had no idea something wrong had even happened have had their eyes opened since news of the scandal hit the headlines and are also coming forward.

The leaked report from November will hopefully allow more victims and families to receive the justice and closure they need from the 40-year scandal. Special measures must be put in place to also ensure that there’s never a repeat of this scandal ever again.

NHS waiting times Christmas 2019

It’s that time of year when we may see NHS waiting times increase, and there may be cases of the so-called “winter crisis” hitting our healthcare service again.

The NHS is already underfunded, and when we hit the winter months, the strain on services can increase. We’re also set to have a particularly cold winter this year which may also make matters worse.

But patient safety must always remain the priority. Whatever happens, patients should not suffer as a result of negligence from A&E or from anywhere else. If they do, we know that lives can be turned upside down, and that’s where our legal advice and specialist help is needed.

Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust medical negligence advice

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SATH) maternity scandal has been labelled the “largest maternity scandal in NHS history”.

It centres around a leaked internal report that appears to outline some 40 years of potentially substandard and negligent care, and there may be around 600 cases where failures have taken place. Dozens of deaths and cases of children being left with permanent and life-altering brain damage are being blamed on inadequate care and advice. It’s a tragic story, and as specialist medical negligence lawyers, all we can do is offer our support and advice for those who need it.

It’s understood that there may be previous cases and complaints that the Trust has dismissed that now need looking into. If that applies to you, or where you believe you or someone you love has been affected by issues at the Trust, we may be able to help.

Claiming compensation for vaginal mesh removal

When vaginal mesh removal has become a requirement, it’s important for victims to know that they may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation.

Our expert injury lawyers are representing a number of patients who have suffered horrendous complications that have arisen from TVT mesh implants. Some of the problems that can be caused mean that women must undergo an additional procedure to try and remove the implant, and in some cases, this isn’t always possible. In some cases, women can be left with defective implants inside for the rest of their lives.

Given that this is such a serious problem, what can women do when the need for removal leaves them with pain and suffering?
