I'm sueing a Dr over mis conduct. I've been told by the NHs that i have to write a official letter of complaint, I've not yet got a solcitor and i'm wondering if i should detail every little indicent ion this letter or would this give the Dr pre warning of theaccusations, do you think i should keep my complaint broad and vague in order to surpurise him in court or should i say everything in the letter from the off?
Can Anyone offer advice here

No draft each point of complain in extreme detail. Also go and see a solicitor to take the claim on a conditional fee agreement basically no win no fee

You have to show the evidence to the person you are suing, that's the law, he cannot prepare a defence if he does not know what you are alledging solicitor is your second step, first step is to complain to the hospital if the doctor works there if not then it has to be the general medical council

I worked in the NHS for 26 years. Please don't take this the wrong way, but consider whether its worth your time and money. The medical establishment will simply close ranks. Doctors get away with everything. Nobody will dare to discipline them.

That's why you sue the NHS not the individual in question!

My father attempted to sue the NHS over the death of my grandfather. He had over a dozen hospital appointments and scans where they diagonsed him with sciatica. The final time they diagnosed it was 1 week before he drowned in his own blood from end stage lung cancer. His files somehow had gone "missing"

In Wales there is a scheme called "Redress". All compalints go through it and there is a fixed timetable in which they are required to invstigate and respond. It covers everything from compalining about service or waiting times to medical negligence. You don't have to have a lawyer but you should give as much detail about the complaint as you can.
If you are seeing it was negligence which casused you a wore pain or injury than then you should at least have a meeting with an expert solicitor. It will be free and they can advise you whether you have a case; a complaint and whether it either will succeed.
The Law Society and Action for Victims of Medical Accidents keeps a list of expert medical negligence solIcitors. It is very important you only see an independently certified specialist. In Wales, the firm called Hugh James, has more independently certified medical negligence specialists than any other firm but there are another three or four firms with a specialist in them. .

No offence but judging by your post you're absolutely clueless about such matters.Do yourself a favour and go and see a solicitor before anything else otherwise you'll be just wasting your time.

Cheers for the replys, I wish i'd known how how NHS staff close ranks long ago. But now it's too late so i'll complain away.
