Clinical negligence harms learning Complaint record keeping failures

Full decision

Summary

Mrs C complained about a GP's consultation with her husband (Mr A). In particular she felt that that the GP had not taken into account that Mr A had cancer, had unreasonably missed the fact that Mr A had a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and had inappropriately prescribed quinine. We took independent advice from a medical adviser and concluded that the GP had acted reasonably. In particular, they had taken account of Mr A's cancer, the DVT which Mr A had could not have been detected at the time and the prescription was appropriate.
