General Medical Negligence Claims

• Cardiac

  Many people require surgery on the heart to treat heart disease and ensure this critical muscle continues to operate as it should do - continuously pumping blood to the body and the lungs to keep the body, as a whole, working.

• Care of the Elderly

  The elderly are acknowledged to be a vulnerable group in society, and if they are not provided with adequate care, their quality of life may suffer, sometimes with very serious consequences.

• Dentistry

  When having dental treatment we all expect a reasonable standard of care to be taken, so when damage or side effects occur it is often unavoidable. However, in cases where standards drop and damage could have been avoided with due care, patients can be left suffering not only physically but mentally too. 

• Dermatology

  Dermatology relates to the treatment of skin conditions and the consultants who specialise in the area are called dermatologists.

• Diabetes

  The first sign that someone may be suffering from diabetes is when they become excessively thirsty or produce excessive amounts of urine because their pancreas, a gland organ in the digestive system, is not producing enough insulin and therefore the blood has high amounts of sugar in it.

• Drug Reactions

  Prescribing, dispensing or administering the correct type and quantity of drugs or medicine is, of course, extremely important and where mistakes are made the effects can be extremely dangerous and damaging to the patient’s future well being.

• Gastroenterology

  Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine that deals with digestive diseases associated with, for example, the bowel, gut and stomach and the specialist who is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases is called a gastroenterologist.

• General Medicine

  General Physicians are responsible for the diagnosis of illnesses and for prescribing and administering treatment for people suffering from injury or diseas and as part of their role they examine patients, obtain medical histories, and order, perform, and interpret diagnostic tests. They can also counsel patients on diet, hygiene, and preventative health care.

• Haematology

  Haematology is a very specialist area of medicine which deals with disorders of the blood and doctors who specialise in this area are Haematologists.

• Infections

  When a patient goes into hospital it is the responsibility of that hospital and the staff to ensure that they are cared for in a clean and safe environment, but infections like Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium Difficile (C Difficile) are now commonly found in hospitals.
