Darbys Solicitors Report on Poor NHS Care Putting Emergency Surgery patients at Risk
Darby Solicitors in Oxford believe that emergency surgery patients in NHS care are at serious risk due to a lack of overall care in hospitals.
Darbys Solicitors, a leading clinical and medical negligence specialist, based in Oxford, believes that the NHS is putting emergency surgery patients ‘at risk’ due to a lack of care in hospitals.
The statistics released by the Royal College of Surgeons found that only a minority of patients who need critical care following surgery receive it, while some die or suffer major complications because of delays in finding space in operating theaters.
About 170,000 patients have major emergency surgery each year – most of these on the abdomen. Of these 100,000 develop serious complications, resulting in more than 25,000 deaths. For the elderly the figures are even more worrying with death rates reaching as high as 40% after surgery.
Darbys has suggested that the majority of their clients have come to them for the same reasons highlighted in the Royal College of Surgeons report. Richard Money-Kyrle, a medical negligence claims specialist for over 12 years, believes “The Latest figures are seriously worrying for the NHS. There needs to be an assessment for the quality of care they are giving to their patients and ensure that they are providing appropriate levels of services and staffing. At Darbys we’ve noticed the rise in accident and emergency claims, including abdominal surgery cases.”
