If you were harmed by negligent gynaecological care, we can help you claim. Women's health is a particular focus of our clinical negligence work, and there are no upfront fees.

It's when care for a gynaecological condition falls below the standard a competent doctor or nurse would provide, and you're harmed as a result. That could be a missed diagnosis, a surgical error, or treatment carried out without your informed consent.
Usually the health and social care trust responsible for the hospital or clinic. If you were treated privately, the claim is against the private provider, and if your GP was at fault, the claim is against the GP.
In Northern Ireland, you usually have three years from the date of the negligence, or from when you first knew you had been harmed by it, if that is later. It's best to get advice early, while the evidence is fresh.
