COVID-19 has been the single biggest challenge the NHS has faced in its 72-year history. Doctors, nurses, and healthcare support workers have risen admirably to the unprecedented crisis, working around the clock to treat the most critically ill COVID-19 patients.
However, the significant disruption to normal, day-to-day NHS services including delays to screening, diagnostics, and treatment, has come at a cost for millions of patients with other serious, non-coronavirus-related illnesses and conditions, such as cancer.

Making a COVID-19 medical negligence claim
During these difficult and challenging times, we are grateful for the hard work and dedication of medical professionals at the frontline of our health service.
However, as medical negligence experts, our focus is representing patients and their families. If a patient suffers avoidable harm due to unreasonable delays in their diagnosis or treatment or tragically dies as a result, they, or their family, have the right to question what happened.
Patients should always be protected from negligent harm. If it can be proved that the delays or cancellations you experienced were negligent, you may be able to take legal action and make a medical negligence compensation claim.
