Great Ormond Street hospital are awaiting the publication of a major report into his actions.

Yaser Jabbar treated hundreds of young people over five years.

Reporter Emma Birchley says it’s believed he harmed more than a quarter of his patients:

Matthew Shaw, CEO, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, said:

“We are profoundly sorry to all the patients and their families who have been affected by the care provided by Mr Jabbar, an Orthopaedic Surgeon at our hospital between 2017- 2022.

“The report we have published today sets out in full what happened, what we found in our review of patients, what we have learnt and what we have done as a consequence.

“We have made significant changes to both the Orthopaedic Service itself and across the hospital to minimise the chance of something like this happening again. Many of these changes are designed to help spot potential issues before they become a risk to patient care.

“We know this comes too late for the families affected by this issue, but we are committed to ensuring our hospital is a better and safer place for all current and future patients.”
