We publish case reports as an aid to members, to alert them of problems encountered by colleagues. Our collection of case studies are an invaluable risk management tool, based on actual events, they bring to life real examples of clinical negligence. They allow other doctors to learn from circumstances that have resulted in difficulties experienced by colleagues.
Please be advised that, to preserve as far as possible the confidentiality of the people involved (both patients and healthcare professionals) we have altered some of the details.
