We are all entitled to receive a certain level of medical care when we visit our GP or are admitted to a hospital. Unfortunately, this is not always the case and not everyone’s experience is a good one.

Diagnosis
- Was there a delay in diagnosing the correct position, which led to unnecessary pain and suffering?
- Was there a delay in referring you to a specialist, which led to unecessary pain and suffering?
- Has your GP, nurse, dentist or accident and emergency consultant been guilty of failing to act quickly enough?
Misdiagnosis
- Have you had inappropriate treatment due to the wrong diagnosis?
- Have you been prescribed the wrong drug?
- Birth Injuries and Pregnancy
Problems
- Have you or your baby been injured due to problems with their delivery?
- Has there been a failure to spot problems with the pregnancy in time or at all?
Surgery
- Has your surgery been performed badly or been inappropriate?
- Has there been a failure of a medical device or product, or have you been infected with MRSA or CDiff unnecessarily?
- Has your cosmetic surgery been performed incorrectly due to your surgeon’s negligence?
Dental Negligence
- Has your dentist failed to diagnose a serious dental problem?
- Have they carried out treatment which has been negligent?
- Have you been injured during the course of such treatment?
In order for a claim to be successful it is necessary to show that both of the following apply:
There has been a breach of duty – this is where conduct has fallen short of the duty of care owed, for example if a GP has not provided a reasonable standard of care.
There has to be a causal link between the breach of duty and the injury suffered. To make a successful claim the breach of duty must have caused the patient an injury.
- Failure or delay to diagnose, such as not carrying out the correct medical tests required
- Failure to refer a patient for specialist treatment
- Giving treatment which is unsuitable for a particular injury which results in the injury worsening or not getting better
- Surgery which is not required or carried out poorly
