When Your GP Doesn’t Refer You – And it costs you time you didn't have. GPs are the front line of the NHS - and often the gatekeepers to life-saving specialist care.

But what happens when a GP:
❌ Dismisses worrying symptoms?
❌ Fails to order basic tests?
❌ Delays referring a patient to a specialist?

In many cases, it means serious conditions like cancer are diagnosed far too late, robbing patients of treatment options, better outcomes, or even their lives.

At Tomlin and Partners, we see too many cases where warning signs were clear, but GPs failed to:
🔹 Follow NICE guidelines
🔹 Refer under the urgent two-week cancer pathway
🔹 Act on abnormal test results
🔹 Take patient concerns seriously

When does this cross into clinical negligence? It’s not just about delay, it’s about whether a reasonably competent GP would have acted differently. We work with independent medical experts to assess what should have been done, when, and how that delay impacted the patient’s health.

These cases can lead to substantial compensation, especially where delayed referrals have led to terminal diagnoses, aggressive treatments, or reduced life expectancy.

Infections After Surgery: When a Preventable Complication Becomes Medical Negligence.

Surgical infections are one of the most common and dangerous post-op complications - but they’re also one of the most preventable. NHS hospitals have strict protocols in place to monitor for signs of infection after surgery. These include:

🔹 Regular wound checks
🔹 Temperature and blood pressure monitoring
🔹 Prompt blood tests if symptoms arise
🔹 Early antibiotic treatment where infection is suspected

But when these protocols are rushed, ignored, or delayed, patients can suffer devastating consequences:
❌ Sepsis
❌ Organ failure
❌ Repeat surgeries or extended hospital stays
❌ Long-term disability
❌ In the worst cases, death

At Tomlin and Partners, we support clients who were let down during their recovery - where infection wasn’t spotted or acted upon, and serious harm followed.

When does it cross into negligence? We look at what should have been done versus what was done. If red flags were missed, protocols breached, or delays occurred in providing antibiotics or escalating care, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

Sepsis is a medical emergency. It moves fast, and without early intervention, it can lead to organ failure, limb loss, or death.

But despite clear clinical guidelines, A&E departments frequently miss the early signs, especially in children, the elderly, and patients with complex conditions.

Here’s what’s often overlooked:
✅ Persistent fast heart rate
✅ Low blood pressure
✅ Confusion or disorientation
✅ Unexplained shivering or fever
✅ Reduced urine output
✅ Mottled or pale skin

Too often, these symptoms are dismissed as viral infections, dehydration, or anxiety, leading to dangerous delays in treatment.

At Tomlin and Partners, we represent families who’ve lost loved ones - or suffered serious injury - because urgent sepsis care was not given when it should have been.

We work closely with medical experts to determine whether the standard of care was breached, and whether faster action could have changed the outcome.

If you or someone you know was harmed due to a delayed sepsis diagnosis, we’re here to help. Our team offers no win, no fee support, and all conversations are confidential.

Welcoming a baby should be one of life’s happiest moments, but for some families, it becomes the start of a long and painful journey. We regularly hear from parents whose babies suffered serious injuries during birth due to failures in maternity care, including:

● Missed signs of fetal distress
● Delayed emergency C-sections
● Improper use of forceps or vacuum delivery
● Inadequate monitoring during labour

When these errors cause lasting harm such as cerebral palsy, brain injury, or oxygen deprivation, it may be classed as medical negligence.

Whether it's the wrong dosage, the wrong drug, or a failure to monitor side effects, medication mistakes can cause serious harm.

These errors aren’t minor slip-ups. They can lead to organ damage, severe allergic reactions, a worsening of existing conditions, and long-term health consequences that may have been entirely preventable.

At Tomlin and Partners, we help clients across the UK hold healthcare providers accountable when prescription errors cross the line into medical negligence.

A routine operation should never lead to long-term disability. But when something goes wrong in theatre and it could have been avoided, the physical, emotional, and financial toll can be enormous.

Surgical negligence can include:

🔹 Operating on the wrong area
🔹 Leaving instruments inside the body
🔹 Causing nerve or organ damage
🔹 Failing to monitor a patient properly post-op

We support patients and families who were let down by poor surgical care. If your life has changed because of a preventable error, you may be entitled to compensation.

When you’ve been through a medical error, misdiagnosis, surgical mistake or poor aftercare, the first thing you want is to move on. So when someone offers you compensation, it’s tempting to say yes. No fuss, no fight… just closure.

But here’s the thing: once you sign, that’s it. You may be closing the door on further help even if complications crop up later.

Speaking to a solicitor before signing isn't about starting a huge court battle. It’s about making sure you know exactly what you're agreeing to.

A medical negligence solicitor can help you understand whether the offer truly reflects what you’ve been through and if it accounts for future care, loss of income, or worsening health.

It's important to understand what rights you might be giving up.

You don’t need to commit to anything. Just have a no-pressure, informed chat so you can make the best decision for your future.

If you or someone you know has been offered a payout after a medical error, reach out. We’ll help you understand your options, no obligation, just clarity.

The impact on a newborn and their family can last a lifetime when maternity care falls short.

Pregnancy and childbirth should be moments of hope not fear. But when healthcare professionals fail to provide safe, timely care, the consequences can be devastating.

Birth injuries caused by medical negligence can happen in many ways, such as when labour is mismanaged, or a C-section is delayed. In some cases, fetal distress isn’t properly monitored, or instruments like forceps and vacuum devices are used negligently.

Undiagnosed infections and complications during pregnancy can also have serious, long-term effects on both mother and baby.

These aren’t just clinical mistakes, they’re life-changing events that deserve legal recognition and support. Get in touch with us today [email protected] or call us on 0203 744 5555.
