What We Do

General Practitioners

General Practitioners are the first point of call for the majority of people and have to treat a wide variety of complaints and conditions. They have a responsibility to refer patients for specialist review when they are unsure of a diagnosis, or when the symptoms require it, and claims can often result from a failure or delay in doing so.

Claims commonly arise out of:

• Misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis of serious conditions such as heart problems and cancer
• Failure to refer, or delays in referring, patients for specialist treatment when required.
• Inappropriate prescription of medication
• Negligent performance of minor surgical procedures
• Inappropriate management of chronic conditions.

Devonshires’ lawyers have experience dealing with claims such as this and would be happy to discuss your claim with you. Give us a call today on 020 7880 4407 to discuss how we can help you claim the compensation you deserve, or contact Nick Grant and we will get straight back to you.
