First do no harm: Cumberlege Review
10 July 2020
This report comes after a two-year review, chaired by Baroness Julia Cumberlege, of harrowing patient testimony and a large volume of other evidence concerning three medical interventions: Primodos, sodium valproate and pelvic mesh.
It sets out nine major recommendations to bring much-needed help and support to those who have suffered as a result of these interventions, and to reduce the risk of avoidable harm from medicines and medical devices in the future.
