Rotherham Hospital Medical Negligence Claims
Following an investigation that found dozens of failures in Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP) Service at Rotherham Hospital, we can help you to claim compensation if you were affected.
The background
Health bosses at Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an external review after the death or avoidable harm of 68 patients. These patients were all treated using an Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP).
ERCPs are done to diagnose and treat problems affecting the:
- Liver
- Pancreas
- Bile ducts
- Gallbladder.
The procedure combines X-ray and endoscopy and can also be used to remove gallstones and take tissue samples for analysis. The Royal College of Physicians carried out the review and found failures in the care of 58 patients.
The report also stated that 25 patients "suffered some degree of harm".
The service was suspended in July 2021, and after "a cluster of adverse incidents and complications", patients were transferred to Sheffield.
