Four junior hospital doctors who were wrongly told they had passed all their final exams at Cardiff School of Medicine have been suspended.
The four started work at hospitals across south Wales two weeks ago after completing their studies. Cardiff University has found the four were given the wrong exam result for one module of their degree.
The hospital trusts say they would have been heavily supervised and made no significant decisions on patient care. However, as a precautionary measure Hywel Dda NHS Trust, which is responsible for Llanelli’s Prince Philip Hospital and Withybush General Hospitals, has decided to review the care of patients seen by the students.
The four students have been working as junior doctors at Llandough Hospital in Cardiff, Swansea’s Singleton and Morriston hospitals, Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli and Withybush General Hospital at Haverfordwest.
