Legal advice about prescribing and medication errors

Harringtons Medical advises on concerns about medication prescribing and administration. An enquiry may involve the wrong medicine, an incorrect dose, a recorded allergy or the way a medicine was administered.

The enquiry may require a review of prescriptions, medication packaging, administration charts, allergy records and relevant treatment notes. Medical records and appropriate independent expert evidence help assess the care provided and whether an alleged failing caused harm. An adverse outcome alone does not establish medical negligence.

Harringtons Medical is the medical negligence department of Harringtons LLP in Dublin, led by David Harrington. The team can discuss your concerns and the information needed to assess them. Call 01 539 4747 or use the contact form below. You can make an initial enquiry even if you do not yet have all of your records.
