If a medical professional has provided substandard treatment and care to you, which has resulted in an injury or worsening of your medical condition, then you may be able to make a compensation claim against the NHS.
The aim of compensation is to try to put you back in the same position that you were in had the negligence not occurred. It’s not awarded so that you can benefit financially. By claiming compensation, you may also highlight the lack of suitable medical care you received to reduce the risk of the same thing happening to someone else.
