A GP Practitioner is often the first point of contact for patients when they feel ill or have concerns relating to their health. Their advice is relied upon to provide necessary recommendations for specialist care or testing. Medical negligence in this area often relates to:

• Failure to investigate symptoms or refer to a specialist when required
• Failure to examine
• Failure to carry out appropriate tests or act on test results
• Incorrect prescription of medication
• Failure to make a correct diagnosis
