Royal Derby Hospital: Women's care reviewed over gynaecology concerns


Nearly 400 women who were treated by a consultant gynaecologist who "unnecessarily harmed" some patients are being invited to have their care reviewed by an independent expert.

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Trust is writing to 383 patients treated by Daniel Hay.

His conduct has been under investigation since 2019 after hospital colleagues raised concerns.

The trust has said at least eight of his patients had been harmed. It has not provided any further information on the nature of the harm.

Mr Hay worked at the Royal Derby Hospital and Ripley Hospital between 2015 and 2018.

The trust initially reviewed his patients who had undergone major surgery such as hysterectomies, before being expanded to include intermediate care, including diagnostic tests. By December, 383 former patients had been included in the review.

Now the trust has pledged to invite each one for a virtual meeting with an independent consultant gynaecologist to discuss their care outcome, starting with those who underwent major surgery.
