Types of GP negligence
There are several common examples of GP negligence:
- Misdiagnosis
- Late diagnosis
- Wrong prescription (or wrong dose)
GP negligence could also occur where your GP fails to make a referral. Early-stage signs of a medical condition could reasonably require further investigation – if you feel that you have experienced negligence because your doctor did not make a referral within a suitable period of time, we can help.
GP negligence – who can claim?
GP negligence can occur at any stage during your diagnosis or during your course of treatment. This includes any oversight on behalf of a medical professional during the supervision of any necessary aftercare (e.g. ensuring correct dosage of any medication, or ensuring fresh dressings).
Conditions commonly linked to GP negligence
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Skin conditions
- Orthopaedic injuries
- Neurological injuries
- Respiratory conditions
Other examples of GP negligence include any instance in which you have received incorrect or misleading advice in matters relating to non-illness or non-injury. For example, you may have experienced negligence in the due course of pregnancy or when preparing for cosmetic surgery.
