Local Democracy ReporterA review into dozens of women who may have been victims of lapses of care by a Derby hospital consultant has been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Last month University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust revealed the "unnecessary harm" caused to patients by one of its obstetrics and gynaecology consultants.
An initial 58 cases were independently reviewed and "lapses in care which have resulted in unnecessary harm" were found with eight female patients treated.
The consultant in question was based at the Royal Derby Hospital, but no longer works at the trust and has not undertaken any clinical activity there since June 2018.
A further independent review is now being carried out into the wider work of the consultant in question, who has not been named, examining the past three years of their work before July 2018.

BBC NewsA newly-qualified nurse in Derby whose bike was stolen while he was working is back on two wheels after police donated a replacement.
Hamed Naeem was working a night shift on the medical assessment unit at Royal Derby Hospital on 1 May, and when he finished his shift at 07:30 the next morning, the 29-year-old found someone had stolen his bike while it was chained up outside.
Derbyshire Police said it sourced the replacement from its "stock of unrecovered found bikes" as a "thank you" to Mr Naeem for his work for the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic.
An investigation to trace the stolen bike is ongoing.

However, in the current situation and given the pressure that our health workers are under at the moment, we wanted to do something."

BBC Radio LeicesterAn owner of a Leicestershire golf course says the "phone hasn't stopped ringing" after the government eased some lockdown measures.

"There's been so much excitement - one man even wanted to hire the whole course for him and his mates," he said.

"It's outdoors and you can easily social distance, so there was a sense of frustration from golfers when we were told to close overnight."
He added the club would be policing social distancing "rigorously".

Coronavirus: Children's hospital staff 'frustrated'published at 10:25 British Summer Time 13 May 2020

Local Democracy ReporterChildren's heart centre staff are still caring for coronavirus patients rather than seriously ill children weeks after the local peak, a "demoralised" NHS worker has said.
The medic, who did not want to be named, said there were more adult patients in the paediatric intensive care unit than on adult intensive care at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, with child patients transferred to Birmingham Children's Hospital.
He said staff are frustrated at not being able to operate on children and risk potentially becoming "deskilled" as a result of stopping the service during the pandemic, and said he felt "ignored" and other staff could leave over concerns.
University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust told the Local Democracy Reporting Service its changes were to ensure patient safety and children were treated in a child-only environment, adding a "phased return" will begin next week.

PA MediaDogs can suffer the same problems as humans when going through adolescence, according to a new scientific study.
University staff at Nottingham, Edinburgh and Newcastle studied the behaviour of 354 dogs across a range of breeds, and found dogs hit puberty around the age of eight months.
Animals who are rehomed can find it more difficult and go through a longer adolescence, the study says, adding pets in puberty can be harder to train and are more likely to ignore commands.
