GPs hold a real position of trust, so finding out that they've actually put you in danger can be very upsetting.
If you feel that your GP has made an incorrect diagnosis or has failed to treat you appropriately, pick up the phone and talk to MPH.
Our experienced and understanding team, which includes an in-house nurse, will be able to go through the details of your case and advise you on how best to proceed.
It's not enough to simply show that your GP got your condition wrong. As patients can display a variety of symptoms, it's important to discover whether or not the GP has considered each and every symptom and the likely conditions that could arise.
A lot of cases against GPs arise because they haven't sought a second, more specialist opinion; for example, failing to refer patients on to a hospital or consultant for further tests to confirm the diagnosis.
Some of the types of GP negligence claims for compensation that we handle include:
- Failure to diagnose or consider types of cancer
- Failure to diagnose deep vein thrombosis
- Misdiagnosis of meningitis
- Inappropriate prescription of medication
