Unnecessary Temozolomide chemotherapy treatments
As per the BBC, Becky is currently working alongside our head of medical negligence Fiona Tinsley to assist patients at University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Trust who have endured prolonged and unnecessary chemotherapy treatments under the care of Professor Ian Brown.
We've conducted an extensive investigation into these cases and assembled a team dedicated to helping affected patients seek accountability, justice and financial compensation.
We understand that this news may be shocking to patients who believed that they were receiving life-saving treatment.
If you've been affected by unnecessary chemotherapy, please contact Becky for a free, no-obligation discussion on how we can support you.
