Doctor’s Decisions Led to Patient Harm | UK News

from UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

St Helier Hospital is launching a sweeping, 12- to 24-month review of care for 203 patients treated by former consultant Veronica Varney, whose unproven medical advice—including skipping flu shots and avoiding rapeseed oil—may have caused three early deaths and lasting harm to twelve others. Suspended last week and previously barred from the hospital, Varney faces ongoing GMC proceedings. The trust has accepted all 19 Royal College of Physicians recommendations, apologized for failings, and pledged transparency—but families’ lawyers demand faster action, arguing patients have waited too long for answers and accountability.
