If you have received a poor standard care following
treatment on the NHS in or around Merseyside & Liverpool
you may be able to pursue compensation. The
general standard of
healthcare in the UK is considered to be very good.
We may lag behind our European partners in some
respects - usually relating to funding or
administration. But as far as medical expertise is
concerned it might be reasonable to assume that you are
in safe hands. Unfortunately that is not necessarily
the case. Mistakes do occur. Unlike many other
occupations, a mistake made by a doctor, physician or
other medical professional (whether this be a GP or a
consultant) can have dire consequences for the patient.
If you are unhappy with the treatment or service you
have received from the NHS you are entitled to make a
complaint. This must be responded to by the NHS
organisation or primary care practitioner concerned.
A
Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) has been
established in every NHS Trust and primary care trust
(PCT). PALS are not part of the complaints procedure
itself but they might be able to resolve your concerns
informally or can tell you more about the.
If you believe that you or your family may have been
a victim of medical negligence then we can help you to
find out whether or not their are grounds for
compensation.
