High Risk Surgery Patients

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

For More Information On Surgery Claims Click To See Our Surgery Claims Section On The Website »

Around 10% of surgical procedures carried out in the NHS will involve high-risk surgery patients. However, a recent report has revealed that these patients make up 80% of surgery-related deaths.

Evidently, high-risk patients will be more prone to suffering difficulties. They may be deemed high-risk because of various health conditions (including as diabetes or heart disease), while age and weight can also be a contributing factor. When a patient has such problems, it is reasonable to presume that he will face an increased chance of surgery-related complications.

Nevertheless, the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death who carried out the research described the findings as “disturbing”, indicating that something other than additional health issues is to blame.

Ambulances Facing Delays at A&E

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

In a medical emergency, a patient will often be entirely dependent upon the response of the paramedics, whose duty it is to transport someone in need of medical attention to A&E. However, it seems there is a worrying problem at play, and this time it is not ambulance response times. In actual fact, it has become apparent that ambulances are facing lengthy delays when they reach hospital.

The unofficial protocol states that an ambulance should be relieved of a patient (either by a doctor or nurse) within 15 minutes of arrival. But research carried out by the BBC has revealed hospitals are failing to take charge of emergency patients within an acceptable amount of time.

David Cameron Waging War Against Excessive Health And Safety Culture

Friday, January 6th, 2012

David Cameron has said today at a small business meeting that the coalition would be “waging war against the excessive health and safety culture that has become an albatross around the neck of British businesses”.

The trouble I have with this statement is that we should be proud that our health and safety system has lead to a reduction in the number of injuries suffered by employees at work. The building and engineering trades have been made a lot safer by much of the health and safety procedures and processes that are in place to protect employees.

What clients are saying about 1stClaims service today

“My reason for contacting you was to help me find a solicitor to deal with a medical negligence claim. My previous solicitor no longer does this kind of work. I can thoroughly recommend the services that 1st Claims offer for anybody who is seeking advice regarding medical negligence. The lady who took my details was very efficient and polite. Within hours I was phoned by a solicitor who you had recommended, and matters are now proceeding in a satisfactory way.

Before contacting you, I was apprehensive that I was not going to find anybody who would be able to help me in this specialised field. The benefits of your service are the fast response, followup and a good understanding of what is required. I have complete confidence in recommending your excellent service. I am actually a retired doctor and can understand whether the people with whom I am dealing have a clear knowledge of what is required. Before I rang 1st Claims, i contacted a marketing agency and was told:-

1. That as my claim was so old, it was time barred.
2. they were unable to help as I had already been to another solicitor.

Both the reasons that I was given are completely wrong. ”

Kindest regards,
Dr E A Hopkins, LRCP MRCS
