Subarachnoid haemorrhages are rare, but they are life-threatening, with a 45% mortality rate.

Rapid diagnosis and treatment are vital to prevent permanent brain damage and a fatal outcome. Sadly, this does not always happen – and any avoidable delay can have devastating consequences for the person affected and their loved ones.

A subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a rare but severe type of stroke, caused by bleeding in the subarachnoid space around the brain 🧠

It is sudden and unpredictable, and rapid treatment is vital to reduce the risk of the worst possible outcomes. However, it is often mistaken for less serious conditions, such as migraines or tension headaches.

In our new insight, we explain why an SAH misdiagnosis can be devastating, and what you can do if you or someone you love suffered due to negligent care.

Hospital Acquired Thrombosis (HAT) is when a patient develops a blood clot in their veins either during a hospital stay or within 90 days of being discharged 🩸

Over half of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism cases are acquired in hospital, and up to 70% are considered preventable with proper risk assessments and preventative measures.

Yet only around a third of ICBs are meeting the standard for VTE risk assessments performed…

Bowel cancer is one of the most common and most life-threatening forms of cancer. Early diagnosis significantly increases hopes of a successful, lasting recovery.

Sadly, this does not always happen. Symptoms are overlooked, tests are misinterpreted, and treatments are avoidably delayed.
