Advice where failures in general practice may have delayed diagnosis, treatment or urgent referral.

Scott and his team

Careful case selection.
Meticulous preparation.

Each potential instruction is considered on its own facts, with attention to the clinical chronology, expert evidence, causation, proportionality and the client's objectives.

Primary care decisions often matter early

GP negligence claims frequently turn on whether symptoms, abnormal results or red flags should have led to further investigation, urgent referral or safety-netting advice.

Delayed cancer referral
Failure to act on abnormal test results
Missed infection, sepsis or neurological signs
Medication and prescribing errors
Failure to review deterioration
Inadequate follow-up or safety-netting

Causation and timing

It is necessary to prove not only that care was substandard, but that earlier competent care would probably have changed the outcome.
