Yes. You can make a compensation claim against a negligent NHS GP, surgeon, consultant, nurse or other healthcare professional or institution.
Medical negligence claims made against the NHS will not only highlight the nature and extent of your injury but may help prevent it happening to other patients. The compensation awarded to you will:
- Acknowledge the injury that you sustained
- Highlight errors or negligent care for the benefit other patients
- Provide financial compensation for the poor treatment received
- Provide financial compensation for any further care, treatment, rehabilitation, carers, aid devices or prosthetics required
