3rd December 2007 Study from York
University suggests 90,000 deaths may result from NHS
negligence
According to a new study, up
to 90,000 people may die as a
result of hospital errors every
year.
One in ten patients are
harmed whilst in hospital
and as many as 20,000 die from
blood clots alone.
These frightening statistics
were the result of an in depth
study by York University.
Other areas of concern included:
A surge in hospital acquired
infections such as MRSA or
CDifficile Complications arising
during or after surgery
Incorrect diagnoses Pressure
ulcers following a sustained
period in bed.
Drug or pharmacy
complications Unplanned
re-admissions This comes at a
time when may industry insiders
are bemoaning the rise in
medical negligence claims
against the NHS. There is little
doubt however that standards
must be raised if this kind of
bad press is to be avoided.
