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.
