General Practitioners (GPs) are often the first medical professionals that we approach when we are unwell.

We trust our doctors to diagnose and act on signs of serious illnesses but sometimes the signs are missed with damaging consequences.

Our medical negligence solicitors can help with a range of GP negligence claims, such as:

• Failing to diagnose injuries/fractures correctly
• Failing to refer patients for x-rays or scans
• Failing to refer patients for tests to identify whether a patient has cancer
• Failing to recognise the signs of serious illnesses such as, cancer, sepsis, meningitis and brain haemorrhages
• Failing to take a full medical history and/or conduct a proper examination which means that signs of serious illnesses are missed

If this has happened to you, Burnetts may be able to help you.
