GP Negligence Claims

When you are feeling unwell or have a concern for your health, the General Practitioners are the first people you turn to for help. They are there to provide a wide range of care and have an important role in your well-being. However, a mistake at this stage could have a severe and long-lasting effect.

It is important for the GPs to correctly investigate and identify any symptoms you are presenting so they can provide you with the best care possible as soon as possible. This may include carrying out tests and referring you to the relevant specialist. The GPs have a duty of care to provide a suitable and competent standard of care to their patients. This is based upon the reasonable standard of care other GPs would generally provide. However, if the care given, falls below this standard causing you to suffer avoidable damage, you may be able to claim negligence.

Some examples of GP negligence include, but are not limited to:

Failure to investigate and carry out tests appropriately
Failure to refer
Failure to provide treatment and medication
Delayed diagnosis and treatment
Misdiagnosis
Providing the wrong prescriptions
Further injury caused
