Hospital’s O&G training on hold after complaints
One doctor at Queensland's Mackay Base Hospital has already been suspended ahead of clinical inquiry
A Queensland hospital’s accreditation to train specialist obstetricians and gynaecologists has been put on hold ahead of a clinical probe.
At least one doctor has already been suspended from Mackay Base Hospital ahead of an independent review of complaints from women about complications from caesareans and allegations of patient harm.
Mackay Hospital and Health Services (Mackay HHS) chief executive Lisa Davies Jones commissioned the investigation after patient advocate Beryl Crosby contacted her with concerns earlier this month.
In line with this, RANZCOG had suspended the hospital’s accreditation to train obstetricians and gynaecologists, she said.
