Following the suspension of an orthopaedic surgeon at Addenbrooke's Hospital due to serious concerns about the care provided, an extensive review will be conducted on the treatment of 800 patients. This includes 700 planned operations and 100 emergency cases. The chief executive has emphasized that the review will identify any lapses in care while an independent investigation aims to uncover past knowledge of the surgeon's practice and potential earlier intervention. The hospital has expressed deep regret for the situation, acknowledging prior warnings regarding the surgeon's performance.
The review will assess the treatment given to 700 patients who had planned operations, and another 100 adult and child patients who had emergency treatment.
We will work tirelessly to examine all the cases within the scope of this review and to ensure that any shortcomings in care are identified as quickly as possible.
