Our specialist medical negligence team, led by Christian Beadell and Francesca Paul at Patient Claim Line, is representing a group of former patients of shoulder surgeon Mian Munawar Shah. These patients received treatment at Spire Healthcare’s Spire Little Aston facility and Walsall Manor Hospital in the West Midlands and have since experienced serious medical complications.
Mr Shah performed surgeries from 2010 to 2020, during which time Walsall Healthcare Trust referred him to the Royal College of Surgeons for an independent review. Following this referral, Mr Shah was suspended from practice, and up to 600 former patients were referred for further evaluation.
Currently, Mr Shah is subject to an interim order preventing him from performing latarjet procedures (which help stabilise the shoulder) or shoulder joint replacements without supervision. These temporary measures, established after an interim hearing in June 2021, are still in effect.
It is believed that Mr Shah has not practiced at Spire Little Aston since 2020.
If you or a loved one have been affected by treatment from Mr Shah, it is essential to understand your rights to financial compensation and pursue justice.
