Patient Advocacy Service
Our Patient Advocacy Service (or PAS for short) is aimed at preventing clinical negligence, by indirectly encouraging care providers to become more careful in the course of providing care to their service users. When there is a suggestion of Clinical negligence, we will assist the patient to pursue a disclosure, whether in the form of explanations, apologies or a redress.
PAS is available to members of the public, who may be unhappy with the quality of medical treatment they have received or who have suffered a loss in the course of receiving medical care.
Hopsital Death
If someone close to you has died in hospital or in the course of treatment, and there is reason to suspect that the appropriate steps to prevent their death weren’t taken, you may wish to investigate a fatal clinical negligence. The law may be able to help you find out what happened, and why - and perhaps even allow you to recover compensation to help you to overcome the loss of a loved one.
Pregnancy & Childbirth
Pregnancy and childbirth are happy times for the vast majority of families. Unfortunately things can occasionally go wrong with life changing consequences for both mother and babies. If you believe you and your child have suffered an injury during pregnancy, childbirth or gynaecology procedures, we could help you not only to seek redress but also cope with your new circumstances.
Inappropiate Medication
Those who manufacture or administer medical products have clear responsibilities to patients - including ensuring their products will be effective and have as few side-effects as possible. When those responsibilities are neglected, defective medical equipment or inappropriate medication can have a serious impact on the lives of patients and their families. We can help you look into this if you have been adversely affected
Surgical Procedures
If your health or the health of someone close to you has suffered as a result of a surgical procedure or because of substandard or management, you could be entitled to surgical negligence compensation.
Hospital Acquired Infections
We all expect hospitals to provide a safe and clean environment and to protect our wellbeing. Unfortunately, hospital acquired infections like Klebsiella species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are now commonplace. If you have contracted any form of illness or infection whilst in hospital care, we could help you seek a redress.
