Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital trust patient wins £130k settlement after a failed appendix operation.
It has been reported that a man has developed lifelong bowel issues following surgery performed by Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in 2018.

He now has a lifelong bowel condition called severe bile acid malabsorption, which requires daily medication. He also suffers with diarrhoea and pain.
