NHS screening problems a cause for concern<\/strong><\/h3>\n

NHS screening problems have been in the media a lot over the last few years. Recent reviews have led to concerns being issued with regards to delays and access.<\/p>\n

Reportedly, there has also been a drop in uptake for certain types of screening, which may stem from the accessibility issues.<\/p>\n

There have been calls for a complete overhaul of the current systems. When you recall the serious events like the NHS Breast Screening Scandal that we\u2019re helping people claim for<\/strong><\/a>, it\u2019s important to ensure that those kinds of scenarios are never repeated.<\/p>\n

Risk to life<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s an obvious risk of loss of life when it comes to NHS screening problems. Where diagnosis and treatment is delayed because screening isn\u2019t accessible, or is provided too late, people can – and will – suffer.<\/p>\n

And when it comes to cancer screening, we\u2019re talking about a disease that really needs to be caught early if the patient has any chance of a successful recovery.<\/p>\n

The UK has reportedly got one of the worst comparative survival rates for cancer at the moment. Screening problems may well be linked to this damning statistic that needs sorting out as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Claiming\u00a0 compensation for NHS screening problems<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You could be entitled to make a medical negligence claim for compensation as a victim who has suffered problems or compilations that arise form NHS screening problems.<\/p>\n

If you have suffered more as a direct result of delays or issues that are linked to screening, you could claim for the additional suffering that you should never have had to endure.<\/p>\n
