Mr Rob Jones, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Treliske Hospital, Truro.

The Royal Cornwall Hospital, Treliske is reviewing a number of patients who attended the Gynaecological Outpatient Department within the last 2 1/2 years following concerns raised about their former Consultant, Mr Rob Jones. Over 1500 letters have been sent by Treliske to patients regarding a review of their care and treatment.

The Royal Cornwall Hospital asked the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists to carry out an independent review of Mr Jones’ clinical practice and the Trust has implemented all of its recommendations.

Tim Goldburn is representing some of the women injured by Mr Jones. He told the Falmouth Packet that none of the patients that he is representing would discuss their injuries but all felt devastated that they had placed their trust and faith in Mr Jones, and the Hospital, and that trust had been totally betrayed. Tim Goldburn also advised that any women concerned about the care they received from Mr Jones from 1992 to May 2012 (when Mr Jones left the Hospital) should contact the helpline set up by the Trust on 0800 180 4514 (available from 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. Monday to Friday) and discuss those concerns with the Trust.
