Each year the NHS makes thousands of medication and prescription errors, these errors can often cause people harm and they suffer as a consequence.

If you have been prescribed the wrong strength of medication – it may be that the dosage you have been given is too high, or you have been given the wrong drug altogether.

If this is the case then you could have a right to claim compensation. Common mistakes that doctors and chemists make can include:

• Prescribing the incorrect dosage
• Giving adult doses to children
• Long-term repeat prescription of a drug, without sufficient patient monitoring
• Dispensing the wrong drug

If your health has been damaged by a mistake related to any of the above, we can help establish whether you are entitled to claim compensation
