The care received by 800 patients at a world-renowned NHS hospital is to be reviewed by expert clinicians after a specialist surgeon was suspended. Last month, it was reported the orthopaedic surgeon at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, had been suspended after concerns were raised by colleagues in October. An initial review by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH) revealed treatment provided to nine children was “below the standard we would expect”. 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.
