Specialist Clinical Negligence Partner, Kate Campbell-Gunn, has successfully secured £1,000,000 for the family of a young mother whose life was tragically cut short due to a delayed referral for bowel cancer. The defendant GP admitted full liability, and alongside the compensation, a formal apology was obtained for the family.

The settlement provides significant financial support for her widow and children during this incredibly difficult time. This case underscores the vital importance for GPs to carefully scrutinise bloodwork, as delays or oversights can have catastrophic consequences.

Kate, together with the wider clinical negligence team, worked diligently to bring the claim to a timely resolution, allowing the family to begin the process of moving forward. Kate was ably assisted by specialist counsel Nicholas Truelove of Kings Chambers.

Aaron Keene, Partner in our Family team, is taking on the challenge of cycling 300 miles in June to raise money for Prostate Cancer Research UK.

Aaron was inspired to take part after two close friends were diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. At 61, he decided to push himself physically and support a cause that affects so many families across the UK.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, and every donation will help fund vital research into better diagnosis and treatment.

To support Aaron and donate, head to his JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/aaron1781159629820

Good luck, Aaron 🚴‍♂️💙

Some of the Wilkes team were delighted to attend the launch of Queen Alexandra Charity's Building Brighter Futures Appeal on Friday, where they enjoyed hearing more about the appeal and the incredible impact the charity continues to have across the local community.

We were also proud to support this fantastic event by sponsoring the drinks reception. Having seen the charity's work first-hand through our volunteering days with Queen Alexandra Charity, it was wonderful to celebrate their achievements and support their vision for the future.

Supporting our local communities is an important part of who we are. Find out more about our community and CSR initiatives here: https://www.wilkes.co.uk/about-us/csr/
