A treating doctor is obliged by the governing body, the General Medical Council, to inform a patient when that treatment has gone wrong. Doctors have been found in breach of a duty of care for failed or delayed diagnosis, failure to warn of risks in treatment, failure to obtain proper consent to treatment, medication errors, careless surgical procedures and delayed referral to specialists. Negligence can also arise out of system errors in the hospital where the treatment took place.

How do I claim?

In order to bring a claim for medical negligence you must prove, through the evidence of medical experts qualified in the speciality concerned, that, it was more probable than not: that there were serious errors in your medical treatment which no competent doctor would have made; and that those errors caused, or contributed to, the injury you are complaining about.
