Investigations take place after serious mistakes at three Northamptonshire hospitals Investigations are being carried out after serious mistakes were made at three Northamptonshire hospitals within the past three months. Kettering General, Woodlands and Northampton General all reported ‘never events’ in October.
Never events are classified by the NHS as serious incidents that should have not occurred and were preventable. At the private Woodlands Hospital off the A14 near Rothwell a wrong site surgery was reported in which pain relief was given to the wrong part of the body before a procedure. The NHS-run Kettering General Hospital incident involved a foreign object being retained in the patient’s body after the procedure. At Northampton General Hospital the incident involved a wrong site surgery. Northamptonshire Telegraph
