NHS statistics show that Accident and Emergency (A&E) is the busiest department within any UK hospital.  On average, A&E departments receive one new patient every 10 minutes.

Patients who arrive into A&E may have sustained traumatic injuries or  be suffering from serious illnesses. It is crucial for the A&E medical staff to diagnose and treat each patient as quickly as possible.

Sometimes mistakes happen and patients are misdiagnosed, given incorrect treatment or treatment is severely delayed leading to serious and even fatal consequences. If you believe you have been the victim of medical negligence in A&E, contact Darbys Solicitors on 0800 524 4349.
