[QUOTE="Redshank, post: 2287519, member: 325494"] It depends what you want to achieve. If you want compensation then suing is a possible route - I have no idea your chances of success. If you want the NHS or the GP Practice to deal with poor care, then you can submit a formal complaint. This may stop others going through what you did. [URL]https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/about-the-nhs/how-to-complain-to-the-nhs/[/URL] "[I]You can either complain to the NHS service provider directly (such as a GP, dentist surgery or hospital) or to the commissioner of the services, which is the body that pays for the NHS services you use. You cannot apply to both. In the event of a complaint about more than one organisation – perhaps a complaint that includes issues about your GP, local hospital and ambulance service – you'll only need to make one complaint. The organisation that receives your complaint must then co-operate with the others to ensure you receive a co-ordinated response." [/I] If you complain, you are not complaining about the doctors and nurses who saved your life, you are complaining about those that gave poor treatment and care in the first instance.[I][/I] [/QUOTE]
