A GYNAECOLOGIST working for the trust that runs Burton hospital contributed to the 'severe physical pain' of patients by taking shortcuts while caring for them, a report has found.
Hundreds of women were under the care of consultant Daniel Hay when he worked for the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust (UHDB) before he retired in 2020 on health grounds.
A report into the care received by Mr Hay's patients between 2015 and 2018 found that 'severe physical harm' was suffered by two patients.
On the publication of the report, the trust said it has expressed 'deepest apologies' to the women who received care from Mr Hay that was 'far below the standards expected.
The panel reviewed the cases of 325 patients of Mr Hay, while 58 women had already been reviewed in 2019.
The report concluded that Mr Hay 'lacked clinical judgement, adding: "He took shortcuts in his clinical assessment of patients, and over time he showed an increasing willingness to take risks.
