An investigation into concerns surrounding orthopaedic surgeon Yaser Jabbar has expanded to include four more London hospitals. Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) had launched a review of 721 children treated by him after concerns were raised about his care. The inquiry now involves three private hospitals as well as Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. An investigation in 2022, conducted by the Royal College of Surgeons, found significant concerns regarding Mr Jabbar's medical practice. Out of the 37 cases reviewed, 22 children were harmed, with thirteen suffering severe harm. Families of affected patients have raised concerns over the lack of documentation and governance in his decision-making processes. Solicitor Caroline Murgatroyd, representing the families, has called for full transparency across all hospitals where he worked. Mr Jabbar, who no longer holds a UK medical licence, now resides in Dubai.
