A 'blatant disregard for the patient's safety in such a complex case'
A patient died because of the failures of consultant spinal surgeon John Bradley Williamson - who ‘misled coroner’ over the complications which led to their death - a new investigation has found.
READ MORE: More cases of severe harm to spinal patients treated by surgeon John Bradley Williamson found The expert which provided evidence to Mr Breen said: “The lack of a second consultant surgeon expressly against the advice of the MDT is unacceptable and extremely difficult to justify. That, plus the decision to proceed with an orthopaedic registrar, I believe directly contributed to the patient’s death due to the inevitably slower surgery.
The review also found there was an ‘underestimation of bleeding by the surgeon’ and ‘there was a missed opportunity to abandon surgery earlier which may have enabled control of bleeding and successful resuscitation’ of the patient. Mr Williamson then ‘misled the coroner as to the severity of the quantity of blood lost in patient A's surgery’, said the review.
On February 29, the children’s hospital shared the findings of its own review, showing it too had patients which suffered ‘severe harm’ after being treated by Mr Williamson. There was no evidence of apologies offered to those patients – and ‘this lack of formal acknowledgement of complications may have contributed to a lack of recognition of their frequency or severity arising through the care’ of Mr Williamson.
The surgeon, now in his 60s, was employed in 1991 before being sacked from the trust in January 2015 following inappropriate behaviour towards a member of staff, reported the Sunday Times. A decorated consultant, Mr Williamson admitted ‘his personal actions were inappropriate’.
