Who is Yaser Jabbar, the disgraced Great Ormond Street surgeon?

The doctor treated hundreds of children from 2017 to 2022 at Great Ormond Street Hospital (Gosh) in London, with independent experts saying in a new review that his surgery fell well below the level expected in several areas. Many patients came to harm or were left in pain, with some going on to need further surgery. Proper consent was also not obtained in some cases, while Mr Jabbar also had an "unjustified preference for certain surgical techniques including unconventional or unrecognised procedures".
