Common Areas of Medical Negligence Include:

Medical negligence - GP

GP Negligence: If your GP fails to diagnose your condition, makes a mistake in treating you, or refer you for the treatment that you need.

Medical negligence - Surgical errors

Surgical errors: Negligent mistakes made before, during or after an operation leaving patients with injuries, disabilities, infections or the need for further surgery. 

Medical negligence - hospital care

Hospital and Nursing Care Negligence: Poor care provided to patients during a hospital inpatient can lead to pressure sores and medication issues as well as delays in diagnosis and falls, all of which can make the condition or problem that you were in hospital for worse rather than better. 

Medical negligence - misdiagnosis

Misdiagnosis or Delay in Diagnosis of a medical condition: A failure to diagnose a condition, such as Cancer or Cauda Equina syndrome can have life changing consequences.

Medical negligence - accident and emergency

A&E: Negligent errors made upon presentation to Accident and Emergency. Regardless of how busy medical staff are, a duty of care is owed to each patient. Being too busy or short staffed is no excuse for making negligent errors.

Other common mistakes relate to errors in the administration of medication and making an appropriate timely referrals.
