Healthcare negligence and complaints

Advice on what to do if you are the victim of medical negligence

The Claims Connection legal service is managed by Winston Solicitors LLP. We offer advice to people who have suffered injury or harm through the negligence of a healthcare professional in the UK.

The Department of Health have made reference in recent years to the growing number of medical blunders that tarnish an otherwise superb healthcare service in the UK. Perhaps the most striking statistic that has been revealed concerns the fact that 1 in 10 patients entering a hospital in England & Wales may fall victim to medical negligence. More than 1 million people a year are said to suffer unintentional harm whilst in hospital.

There are many other situations that whilst not giving rise to a compensation claim would instead be the subject of a formal NHS complaint. We cover all of these situations in the medical negligence section of our website. Please visit the links below to read more about clinical legal issues and how we may be able to help you:

Where you live in the country can very much determine what exposure you might have to suffering an injury at the hands of a negligent medical professional. Some hospital mortality rates are strikingly different to others and it is generally the case that large busy hospitals with high staff turnover, may pose a significant risk to patients.

If you or a loved one has suffered injury following medical negligence, we may be able to help with our dedicated legal advice service. We can help with the following scenarios:

  • Personal injury during an operation
  • Bad advice from a medical doctor
  • Late diagnosis (particularly involving cancer and serious illnesses)
  • Cases involving negligent treatment or medication
  • Poor aftercare

For most people who have a treatment at a beauty clinic or a spa it is a nice relaxing experience, but for some people it can turn into a traumatic experience leaving them scarred. If you have suffered beauty treatment injuries as a result of negligent beauty treatment in a beauty clinic, spa or hair salon from waxing treatments to hair dye, sunbeds and lasers, you might be entitled to claim compensation.
