Everyone expects to receive good safe care on the NHS. However, incidents do occasionally happen which are sometimes avoidable and sometimes not. Clinical and Medical negligence arises when the mistakes are avoidable.

The standard test is whether the treatment provided was poorer than should have been expected from another reasonably competent clinician in the same field of medicine, for example surgery or nursing.

Unfortunately when medical mistakes do happen the results are often devastating.
