Addenbrookes paediatric surgeon suspended after children left with injuries

At Tees, we are shocked and saddened by the news that a specialist paediatric surgeon at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge has been suspended following a review.

BBC News has reported that an investigation uncovered nine medical negligence cases where children had been left with injuries affecting their quality of life following complex hip surgery procedures. These injuries have had a lasting impact, requiring further medical treatment and affecting mobility.

Cambridge University Hospitals Chief Executive, Roland Sinker, has confirmed that an external review will take place into the medical treatment carried out by the surgeon at the hospital. He also stated that reports have been made to the General Medical Council, NHS England, and the Care Quality Commission.

This news is both shocking and heartbreaking for the children and families who are affected.

Alarmingly, this news also comes in the wake of the recent exposure of the practices of Mr. Jabbar, an orthopaedic medical professional at Great Ormond Street Hospital. We are already supporting families affected by the shocking failures in medical care linked to Mr. Jabbar. Read more below.
