Legal advice about follow-up care and aftercare
Harringtons Medical advises on concerns about follow-up care after a procedure or treatment. Issues may include discharge instructions, planned monitoring, follow-up appointments or the response when a patient reports a problem.
The enquiry may require a review of discharge instructions, follow-up appointment records, calls or messages to the care provider and subsequent 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.
FAQs
What information is useful for an aftercare enquiry?
Keep your discharge instructions and a timeline of follow-up appointments, symptoms and contacts with the care provider. Record the dates of calls or messages and retain correspondence where available. These materials help the team identify what follow-up was planned and what happened afterwards.
