GP Error or Misdiagnosis

Our own GP is often the first medical expert we see to discuss a personal health matter, and most of us are lucky enough to receive excellent care. But unfortunately there are times when a doctor may fail to diagnose a condition or illness, may misdiagnose your symptoms, or otherwise fail in their duty of care to you.

Under these circumstances, you might be entitled to make a claim for medical negligence compensation.

Fentons medical negligence solicitors has have for many years acted on behalf of individuals that have been affected by GP error in this way, including claims such as:

• Cancer cases not being diagnosed early enough to treat
• Symptoms being misdiagnosed entirely
• Serious illness not being recognised at all
• Failure to refer to relevant specialist
• Wrong medication or incorrect dosage being prescribed
• Pharmacists misreading prescriptions
