Standard of Care & Negligence

There is no absolute standard so far as clinical negligence is concerned. There is no statutory definition that covers the issue. Whether or not doctors, dentists, nurses and technicians working at Kings Health Centre have been negligent is determined by comparing allegedly erroneous treatment with treatment offered by other reasonably competent healthcare practitioners working with similar patients in a similar location. Healthcare practitioners are expected to achieve a reasonable standard of care and failure of treatment does not necessarily indicate medical malpractice. There are a number of defences open to doctors, dentists, nurses and technicians who are accused of causing injury to patients due to negligent treatment including accepted practice, respected minority and error of judgement.
