OUR AVMA ACCREDITATION

AvMA is an independent charity promoting better patient safety and justice for people who have been affected by clinical negligence.

Like us, AvMA believes that whatever the cause of a medical accident the people affected deserve explanations, support and, where appropriate, compensation.

AvMA has a team of medically and legally trained case workers who can provide free and confidential advice on your rights, medical information or explanations, help in getting the issues investigated, assessment of potential for obtaining compensation, referral to an appropriate solicitor and other sources of practical and emotional support.

AvMA runs a medical accident helpline on 0845 123 2352. This is a first point of contact to provide guidance. The service is available 10am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Outside the helpline hours you can request an information pack by leaving a message.

AvMA has a well respected specialist clinical negligence lawyer’s panel. John Pollitt (the head of Pearson Hinchliffe’s Clinical Negligence Department) is a member of this panel. Visit AvMA’s website http://www.avma.org.uk/
