‘Debrief' - a series of podcasts from Kings Chambers’ clinical negligence and personal injury group.
The Supreme Court’s decision in Darnley v Croydon held an NHS Trust liable after a receptionist in Accident and Emergency gave misleading information to a patient about the likely waiting time to be seen.
He chose not to wait and left the hospital, with serious consequences. Why did the Supreme Court find that the Trust was liable, and what are the implications of its judgment? Nigel Poole QC, Helen Mulholland and Richard Livingston discuss.
