NHS Negligence Solicitors: Claims Against NHS and GPs
Whether you have suffered substandard medical care in hospital or
at the GP surgery, your right to compensation remains the same. If a
patient’s long-term outcome is negatively affected by negligent medical
care, they are legally entitled to compensation for the financial impact
as well as their pain and suffering.
Negligent medical care
Negligent medical care can come in a variety of forms, affecting a patient’s long-term health and well-being in different ways and to varying degrees.
- It may be an issue around diagnosis (examination, recognition of symptoms, failure to refer) which has caused a delay in treatment and unnecessary long-term symptoms for the patient
- It may be a failure of risk assessment and the implementation of care guidelines which has allowed a patient to suffer or perhaps to develop a severe infection
- It may be a failure of surgical technique, in whatever field, which has left the patient with debilitating problems such as loss of mobility
- It may be the incorrect prescription or administration of medication which has left the patient struggling with health difficulties
- It may be a ‘never event’ such as carrying out a procedure to the wrong part of the body
