Terrible orthopaedics

Story from nhs.uk

"Terrible orthopaedics"

About: Tameside General Hospital

Orthopaedics is terribly run at this hospital. I fractured my wrist, needed internal plates and screws inserting under general anaesthetic. Was done by a hand surgeon apparently. After long rehabilitation I have been left in pain. I sought a private opinion from a top class Professor of hand surgery in the North West who said he would have to do the surgery again! Wish they had just left me in a plaster now (bet they had too)

Thank you for your comments. This is clearly not the standard of care we expect any of our patients to receive. However without the specific details this is difficult to answer. If you would like a more detailed response please could you contact the trust Pals/Complaints department if you haven’t already done so.

Many thanks

John Goodenough

Director of Nursing
