Recall for patients of Habib Rahman by Spire Healthcare

Some 217 patients of Habib Rahman are being invited for a recall consultation by Spire Healthcare after it has emerged that some people may have undergone unnecessary treatment.

Patients who have had shoulder manipulation procedures under general anaesthetic at Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull carried out by the orthopaedic surgeon may need further treatment, or they may be told that their operation was not even required. This is not the first scandal to hit Spire Parkway, which was one of the hospitals that former disgraced breast surgeon Ian Paterson also worked out.

Those affected by the recall are being urged to seek follow up care, and you can speak to our team today for free, no-obligation legal advice.

Patients of Habib Rahman may be due compensation

Spire Healthcare patients who have had treatment with Habib Rahman may be owed compensation if it transpires that they have been the victim of negligence.

If a procedure has been carried out unnecessarily, a victim could be entitled to compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. This can include damages for having unnecessary surgery in the first place, and for any lasting complications that this may cause.

You could also be entitled to receive compensation for any future treatment you may need, and any costs that may be associated with this. Private surgery and treatment costs can be common in cases of this nature, and any losses and expenses like lost earnings from time off work can also be recoverable.

Are you affected?

If you have been informed by Spire Healthcare that your treatment with Habib Rahman needs to be reviewed, it is important to know your rights.

If you are informed that you have been the victim of negligent treatment – whether that’s caused by any errors or unnecessary operations – you could be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation.
