Whether it is cosmetic, planned or emergency surgery a patient is entitled to expect their operation is performed competently and any foreseeable risks are minimised. A patient's knowledge of what has happened during their surgical procedure tends to be very limited and our specialist team knows what evidence requires to be ingathered to determine whether a claim can succeed.
We also know what hurdles need to be overcome in order to determine whether consent for a surgical procedure has been sufficient. A patient is entitled to know what the risks and benefits of all reasonable treatment options, including any alternatives, are and to fully discuss that well in advance of any operation.
