Mr Williamson’s treatment of 70 patients being reviewed - Salford Royal. Also worth noting he is an expert witness in clinical negligence cases often instructed by NHS lawyers. ⬇️ Spinal surgeon’s operations left actress Ruth Madeley in chronic pain https://t.co/anOBXVpIPW

Another worrying trend seen throughout the country. Ambulance response times plus A&E waiting times like this are a recipe for disaster. And it’s June. Fatal ambulance delays show NHS is ‘shattered, not broken’ https://t.co/yQwNOXn90c

Disturbing article about alleged withholding of information from the coroner by North East Ambulance Service in 90+ cases 2018-2019. Hopefully this will be investigated further. Ambulance trust covered up paramedics’ fatal errors like a ‘criminal gang’ https://t.co/HavkMpJIT4

The focus should be on improving patient safety particularly for obstetrics and midwifery. Less unnecessary suffering for families with the added bonus of less costly legal claims.

The cost of compensation for medical injury is set to double over the next decade to £4.6 billion - with a quarter of costs going to lawyers.

Difficult for our clients, the parents of baby Kingsley Olasupo, to hear midwives wanted him to be checked by a doctor when his temperature was low but this was not done. Inquest returns today to hear more evidence about his care. Clinical negligence case managed by @RachaelHeyes

"In its obsession with the financial cost of clinical negligence to the NHS, the Government repeatedly fails to recognise that the NHS’s negligence is the reason why patients must claim compensation for their injuries" - APIL EC member Suzanne Trask

Babies at risk as ~1 in 10 midwives may be dismissed as not vaccinated… this is alarming if true. Safety for mothers and babies will be compromised if shortages of midwives made worse. @ClinNegSpeak
BREAKING: Around 1,700 midwives in Eng remain unvaccinated (8%) and face dismissal, sources have told HSJ In London it's thought to be 12.5%...prompting warnings for the safety of mums and babies from a former Chief nurse for Eng. From @HSJAnnabelle
