Kuldeep Stohr, a trauma and orthopaedic consultant at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, was suspended after a review which found issues with some of her surgeries was completed in January 2025.

Ed Marsden, founder of Verita, which carried out the investigation, said: ‘This report highlights 32 missed opportunities to address concerns over a consultant's practice in the paediatric orthopaedic department at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust between 2012 and 2024. Our detailed report identified a range of avoidable issues including poor clinical supervision and communication, isolated practice in small specialities and strained professional relationships.'

Roland Sinker, chief executive of Cambridge University Hospitals, said: ‘We are deeply sorry for the impact this has had on patients and families and are focused on supporting all of those affected.

‘We accept the findings and recommendations made in Verita's report in full. This should not have happened and today we are publishing an action plan which describes the changes we will make.'

The action plan includes: management and support for doctors​; improving governance for the safety and effectiveness of clinical services​; effective oversight of clinical reviews; and medical culture and tackling poor behaviours​.
