The aim of this study was to identify the causes of urological litigation in the NHS and to make recommendations how to reduce the burden of litigation to both injured patients and urologists.
Under the Freedom of Information Act, the National Health Service Resolution (NHSR) was asked to provide the figures for the number of cases of litigation in urology reported between 2010 and 2020.
The number of urological claims more than doubled between 2011 and 2020. Many of the claims that are made result from avoidable errors.
More education is needed, of both urologists in training and consultant urologists, on the causes of errors that lead to litigation and how many of them can be avoided.
本研究旨在确定 NHS 中泌尿科诉讼的原因，并提出建议以减轻受伤患者和泌尿科医生的诉讼负担。
根据信息自由法，向国家卫生服务局（NHSR）询问 2010 年至 2020 年报告的泌尿科诉讼案件数量。
2011 年至 2020 年期间，泌尿科索赔的数量增加了一倍多。许多提出的索赔是由于可避免的错误。
需要对培训中的泌尿科医生和顾问泌尿科医生进行更多关于导致诉讼的错误原因以及其中有多少可以避免的教育。
