I recently gave birth, normal no complications initially - However following the birth due to negligence of the hospital concerned I was discharged unaware that I had both womb and Kidney infection - Nett effect was I was very ill for a number of weeks - having to have my husband take additional time off work , incurring the cost of additional GP visits and get help from family in order to be able to look after our children as I needed help to look after myself let alone a new baby. I was later readmitted to the same hospital to control the infections , where it was confirmed that the infection had initially been identified but untreated.
We have started complaint procedings with the hospital and have since recieved communications requesting us to attend a meeting with Senior staff/ Director to discuss the case further.
Looking for advise on what to expect and how to proceed if anybody has been in a similar situation
Thanks
Thanks for the responses. As stated above in unchartered waters , recieve a copy of the file in advance of the meeting is a good idea.
Don't forget, you can bring someone with you to the meeting. Preferably, someone who will remain calm and remember what was said. Not a solicitor though as that will put the hospital on guard even more. It's ok to take notes at the meeting but it would be unlikely you will be permitted to record the meeting.
I disagree. I think bringing a solicitor is perfectly acceptable.
I've previously brought a solicitor to meetings a lot less important than this.
