Mian Munawar Shah Medical Negligence Claims
Mr Mian Munawar Shah (Mr Shah) is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. He worked for the NHS at Walsall Manor Hospital, part of Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust, and privately at Spire Little Aston Hospital. Our medical negligence experts are investigating claims raised by several of Mr Shah’s former patients.
We're here for you
Claims about Mr Shah’s practice date back to at least 2010 and include operations he performed in both NHS and private hospitals.
In 2020, Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust contacted the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS), which carried out a general review of surgery. This led to a further review into Mr Shah's individual work. A recall of his patients was recommended by the RCS.
Mr Shah has several conditions on his doctor’s registration. These include not carrying out Latarjet procedures or shoulder joint replacements without supervision. He must also get the approval of the General Medical Council (GMC) before starting work in a non-NHS post or setting.
Mr Shah was suspended by the Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust after multiple claims of medical negligence were made against him. He was later fired by the NHS Trust. Up to 600 patients who underwent shoulder surgery by Mr Shah have been recalled by Walsall Manor Hospital.
Spire Healthcare have also recalled patients who had surgery performed by Mr Shah at Spire Little Aston Hospital.
A formal scheme has been implemented by Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust. This will investigate clinical negligence cases arising from orthopaedic treatment by Mr Shah involving NHS treatment at the Trust or at Spire Little Aston Hospital.
The scheme will allow claims to be dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible and in a consistent manner. It will give reassurance to those affected that their cases are being taken seriously.
By working collaboratively with the NHS, the scheme will allow legal cases to be concluded more swiftly. This will help patients to try and look to the future as best they can. It’ll also help them to avoid the uncertainty, distress, and cost of litigation.
We’re currently representing several patients who are concerned about surgery performed by Mr Shah. We’re fighting to get them every penny of compensation they’re due. If you suffered medical negligence while being treated by Mr Shah, we could do the same for you.
