The NHS is a cherished national institution – no one would argue with that. The service provided by the hundreds of thousands of NHS employees including doctors nurses and ancillary staff – is for the most part superb. Unfortunately though when problems occur they usually have dire consequences for patients and their families. The standard of care afforded by some doctors and nurses occasionally falls below acceptable levels and when this happens serious harm can be caused to patients.
If you feel that you have experienced medical negligence as a consequence of poor advice, poor service, failure to diagnose a condition, failure to apply due skill and care during or before an operation – then you may be entitled to claim for medical negligence.
