Areas of Law / Medical Negligence

I have been on a course of medication for more than 20 years. However I collapsed three times within the space of six months, and when my GP retired a new doctor immediately halved the dose. The practice hasn’t come up with satisfactory answers and I am still ill. Is it possible to take this further?

If you want an investigation and an explanation then you should contact NHS England (0300 3112233) which commissions GPs who provide primary health services. They will appoint a case officer to investigate your complaint, but you will probably have to give them your permission to contact your surgery. If on the other hand you feel you have suffered lasting damage as a result of mistreatment you should see a solicitor to see if you might be due compensation.

What are the steps needed to bring medical negligence claims, and what is the time limit?

I had toothache and went to a new dentist. He took x-rays and said the tooth had to come out there and then. From that day 12 months ago I’ve been in absolute agony. I’ve been to see several consultants and I’ve now been told that the pain has been caused by the way the tooth was pulled. I’ve had to cancel a holiday and they say it will be nine months before I’m free from pain.
