hospital because the client believes they have received sub-standard negligent medical treatment which has caused injury or harm.

professionals such as a hospital doctor, GP, nurse, physiotherapist,
dentist, pharmacist or ambulance driver, and against medical
institutions such as an NHS hospital, private hospital or a GP surgery.
