The Trust is currently working with Spire Washington Hospital in relation to concerns over Mr Leslie Irwin.

We have asked the Royal College of Surgeons to support us in a patient review process. As part of this review, we will be in touch with any former patients directly as soon as we can. If your care is identified as part of the review, please rest assured we will be in contact.
 
If you are a former patient of Mr Irwin and have any questions or concerns, you can contact the Trust directly via our freephone number: 0800 5876513.

This number is answered Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 4.30pm. An answer machine is available outside of these hours. Please leave a message and we will call you back.

You can also email us at stsft.adviceandcomplaints@nhs.net

Mr Irwin retired from South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust in May 2022.
