Won’t claiming compensation damage the NHS?

No – far from it.

The real reason why so many medical mistakes are being made both in the NHS and in private hospitals and clinics in England and Wales is that the medical profession finds it incredibly difficult to accept failure. This means that far too often, medical errors aren’t acknowledged, let alone properly investigated, and lessons from those mistakes are therefore not learnt.

You may have already noticed that the NHS finds it incredibly hard even to apologise. Again don’t take our word for it. Over the last two years, the UK Government have felt it necessary to issue a series of statements actually asking NHS doctors and nurses to start apologising for any mistakes they make. Sadly, we haven’t noticed any more of our clients receiving apologies for what are sometimes really awful mistakes.

If the medical profession doesn’t learn from their errors, they won’t be able to improve. So by making your claim for compensation, it puts more pressure on the medical profession to start admitting to their mistakes and learning from them – which will mean better medical care for everyone.

Please note that we are unable to take on any negligence claims arising directly out of any medical treatment for coronavirus.

How widespread is medical negligence?

Sadly it’s a much greater problem than you might expect. In recent years, the NHS in England has been ordered to pay over £2 billion each year in compensating patients who suffered harm during their treatment from medical negligence.

And sadly lessons seem to be rarely learned, because that figure is increasing. According to the government’s own figures published in April 2022, £2.17 billion compensation was paid by the NHS in 2021.

Considering a Medical Negligence Claim? Contact us as soon as possible

Please be aware that time limitation periods apply to all types of medical compensation claims –  that means leaving your claim for too long could mean you miss out on the compensation you deserve entirely.

What’s more, it’s usually easier investigating your claim if you take early legal advice, while the incident is fresh in your mind. So don’t delay getting in touch with us.
