NHS Medical Negligence

Whilst little is known of the plans for the NHS this could also mean privatisation. Like the proposal for the roads, the health service could end up in multiple ownerships and divided between the Government and numerous private providers.

No consensus on good parenting

Patients should always receive the correct information from their Doctor

The University of Warwick has released research into parenting manual which they have studied from as far back as 1913; research suggests that there is no consensus to good parenting and that these manuals often make mothers feel like failures rather than being supportive to them. Doctors are always supposed to be impartial when they provide advice to patients – they should provide the best quality medical advice based on evidence and never let their personal beliefs interfere with that advice. On occasions some patients have received opinionated information or are provided with less information than they should because of a Doctor's beliefs. Patients have the right to choose their treatment and failing to provide the correct information is negligent; if a patient chooses an operation based on the wrong information being provided then a medical negligence claim arises. If you feel that you have been misinformed or simply that you were not given enough information about your treatment we are available to help.

Failure to diagnose a condition can prevent a patient from getting timely treatment and puts the patient at risk; more medical errors occur during routine medicals than many people realise.
