The independent report into missed opportunities to identify and address concerns about the practice of Ms Kuldeep Stohr has now been published.

The full report, by independent investigators Verita, is available to read on our website here https://orlo.uk/07fkn

Alongside this, you will find our action plan which outlines how we will act on and implement the report’s recommendations.

We’re sorry this has happened. We know that we’ve fallen short of the standards our patients expect from us, and we are committed to ensuring this cannot happen again.

Earlier this year, the Trust initiated an external clinical review into the practice of Ms Kuldeep Stohr, a trauma and orthopaedic consultant who specialises in treating children. Alongside that, the CUH Trust Board commissioned an independent investigation into missed opportunities to have identi...

Our outpatient pharmacy space is currently being refurbished.

To minimise disruption and ensure the pharmacy remains open as much as possible, the department will only close over the weekend (Friday at 7.00pm, reopening on Monday mornings at 8.00am) for approximately three weeks.

The refurbishment will address the challenges of the current space at Rowlands', particularly in the area where patients attend and wait for their medicines.

We apologise for any disruption this may cause, but are looking forward to the refreshed space better serving our community.

Have you heard of Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)?

SAD is a type of depression that occurs in a seasonal pattern, most commonly starting in the autumn and winter and improving in the spring time.

Feeling low in the winter is very common and nothing to be ashamed of. 💙

Update for patients and families on the publication of the Verita report

On Wednesday 29th October, at 09:30, we will publish Verita’s independent report into potential missed opportunities for the identification and avoidance of possible harm to paediatric orthopaedic patients at CUH.

The full report will be available on our website alongside an action plan that outlines how we will act on and implement the report’s recommendations, and how we will support patients, families and colleagues.

Those patients and families directly affected by the orthopaedic incident have received a letter that details how they will be given early access to the report, and how they can register to attend the planned briefing sessions and drop-in question and discussion sessions with Trust executives.

If you are a patient or family member who has not yet received these details, please contact us on cuh.communications@nhs.net.

We’re sorry this has happened, and we know that we’ve fallen short of the standards our patients deserve to expect from us. We’re doing everything we can to put things right, and we’re committed to learning from our mistakes to make our services safer and stronger for patients.

Patients across the East of England are set to benefit from a major improvement in stroke care, with our hospitals delivering a regional 24/7 mechanical thrombectomy service.

Mechanical thrombectomy is a specialist procedure in which a blood clot is removed from the brain, restoring blood flow. For many patients, it can mean the difference between returning to independent living and facing lifelong disability.

The 24/7 service means people suffering the most severe types of stroke can receive potentially life-saving treatment at any hour of the day or night: https://orlo.uk/i8bxv
