We investigated a case relating to an elderly woman’s delayed diagnosis of lung cancer, from which sadly she died, on behalf of her husband. She attended Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital with a severe and persistent cough and was given a chest X-ray which was reported as normal. Subsequent consideration of the X-ray demonstrated that it in fact showed an area of abnormality and extra density behind the heart and therefore warranted further investigation. Those treating her thought that our client’s wife had an ENT related problem and referred her to an ENT physician, who was unable to find anything of concern and discharged her from his clinic. Her health continued to decline and she underwent a second chest X-ray two months later. Following this X-ray, lung cancer was diagnosed but it was too late to offer anything other than palliative care.

We are running a large number of clinical negligence claims against Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey relating to care provided by one of its former consultants, obstetrician and gynaecologist Jayne Cockburn. This latest claim formed part of an informal group action our team is pursing against the trust involving Miss Cockburn. She practised at Frimley Park Hospital until 2011 before officially resigning in December 2014 after it emerged that a number of her former patients had been recalled for review in July 2014 following a look-back exercise carried out by the trust. Nearly half of the patients who were contacted were advised by the doctors carrying out the review that the treatment provided by Miss Cockburn was ‘unnecessary’ and that ‘significant harm’ had been caused as a result.

We are investigating a potential negligence claim for a lady who had a disappointing result from face lift surgery. She developed prominent swelling on her jawline soon afterwards, which was syringed by her surgeon. He prescribed antibiotics and suggested that the swelling may have been a foreign body reaction.

It had become infected, causing the problem.
