What is medical and clinical negligence?

The definition of medical negligence is the failure to provide care which deviates from the standard accepted level; resulting in harm, injury or death.

A breach in the duty of care can be found in different elements of treatment such as:

  • Delayed diagnosis
  • Careless procedures
  • Failure to warn of risks in treatment
  • Medication errors
  • Delayed referral
  • Failure to obtain proper consent

The doctor/patient relationship in medical negligence cases could include the NHS, GPs, dentists, private clinics and also health authorities/trusts.

How to make a claim for medical negligence

Medical negligence - also known as clinical negligence or malpractice - is when an individual or organisation with a duty to provide medical care fails to deliver that care. The consequences are often serious, including permanent damage, psychological trauma or even death. If you or a loved one has been a victim of negligence from a medical practitioner or care provider, the UK law entitles you to make a claim.
