When you seek medical help, every doctor, nurse, and healthcare professional owes you a duty of care.

This is their legal and ethical responsibility to provide treatment with reasonable skill and competence that meets accepted medical standards.

If that duty is breached - for example, through a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or improper treatment - and it results in harm or injury, you may have grounds for a medical negligence.

However, you may be surprised to know that the duty is not actually to provide an excellent standard of care, nor even a good standard!

For this week's , here's a look at what the standard duty of care should include. But you can find out more in our helpful guide here https://www.medical-solicitors.com/help-advice/breach-of-duty-in-clinical-negligence-claims/

If you believe your medical care fell short, our experienced legal team can help you understand your rights and explore your options for justice and compensation.

Did you know breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK?
1 in 7 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

Thankfully, survival rates have doubled in the past 50 years due to things like improvements in treatment, the NHS breast screening programme for earlier detection, and the annual breast cancer awareness month encouraging women to check their breasts regularly for lumps.

However, there are still many cases of negligence each year which can lead to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of breast cancer.

Negligence could arise because screening guidelines are not followed, tests are not correctly interpreted, inappropriate treatment was given, or infection was mismanaged post-treatment.

Our specialist team of lawyers are experienced in recovering compensation for breast cancer negligence claims. You can find out how we investigate a breast cancer claim, with a link to some past claims, here https://www.medical-solicitors.com/medical-negligence/cancer-claims/breast-cancer/

Did the standard of care you received affect your prognosis? Contact our team for a no obligation chat to see if you may have a claim for compensation.

As we come to the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week, we’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported our team’s Ribbon Runs.
Our fabulous runners have raised £733 for Sands - baby loss charity 💙💗

A huge well done to the 6 staff members who completed their 5K last Saturday. We thought it was extra poignant that Matthew ran past this Sands memorial bench in Sheffield’s Graves Park.

There’s still time to get any last minute donations in here https://fundraising.sands.org.uk/fundraisers/MedicalSolicitors

Our thoughts are with all bereaved families affected by baby loss on this emotional Baby Loss Awareness Week 💗💙
Knowing there's an empty seat at the table is overwhelmingly painful and can feel isolating for bereaved parents.

This week, we're encouraging you to talk to your friends, family or colleagues about baby loss if only to understand the indescribably heartache that thousands of parents go through every year.

We don't always know why baby loss happens - sometimes the cause is unexplained.
However, we do know that maternity care is under scrutiny and too many parents leave hospital with empty arms and broken hearts due to failings in maternity care.

Our team of medical negligence lawyers have supported many bereaved parents over the years seek closure and compensation for the avoidable loss of their children.
While these cases are upsetting, they also give hope that justice can be sought and these precious babies will never be forgotten.

Today is World Thrombosis Day, a day to raise awareness of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and other serious blood clot conditions that can have life-changing – even fatal – consequences if not diagnosed or treated promptly.

Every minute matters.
When symptoms like leg pain, swelling, warmth, or redness are missed or dismissed, a delay in diagnosis can lead to pulmonary embolism or long-term complications.

Unfortunately, some patients experience harm due to medical negligence, such as:
⚠️ Failure to recognise symptoms
⚠️ Delays in diagnosis or treatment
⚠️ Inadequate anticoagulant management
⚠️ Poor follow-up care after surgery or hospital stays

At Medical Solicitors, we help individuals and families affected by negligent DVT care seek answers, accountability, and compensation to support their recovery. Here are just a few of the DVT cases our team have settled.

If you or a loved one has suffered due to delayed diagnosis or poor treatment of a blood clot, our specialist medical negligence team is here to help.
Contact us confidentially today on 0114 250 7100 or visit www.medical-solicitors.com/medical-negligence/dvt-claims to learn more.
