Clinical Negligence

Thousands of people are treated by doctors, dentists, nurses and other health care workers every week. And whilst the standard of healthcare in this country is usually high sometimes things go wrong.

What is a Medical Accident?

A “medical accident” is when something goes wrong whilst you are receiving medical treatment. It describes situations where a patient has been harmed, not because of a recognised risk or unavoidable complications of their treatment, but because a doctor or healthcare professional has not given the appropriate standard of care.

It is important to remember that if your treatment has not worked or there have been complications, it does not necessarily mean there has been a mistake, or that someone is to blame. As with all medical treatment, there are recognisable and unavoidable risks.

As a patient, the law expects you to receive a reasonable standard of care from your

healthcare profession.

Clinical or medical negligence includes medical accidents such as:

  • Prescribing you the wrong medication
  • Making the wrong diagnosis or delaying the correct diagnosis
  • Making a mistake during an operation or procedure

Clinical negligence can also include situations where something has not been done that should have been done, such as:

  • Not getting your consent (agreement) to treatment
  • Not giving you the treatment that you needed
  • Not warning you about the risks of a particular type of treatment
