MedLaw Details
www.medlaw.eu helps patients help themselves navigate the complexities of the NHS funding arrangements for treatment. It is linked to a number of major charities and patient support groups. It provides patients and consultants with details on the processes to follow, the forms to complete, the law applicable. www.medlaw.eu is a unique source of information on the legal process involved in obtaining medical treatment on the NHS. Many treatments are not routinely funded by the NHS or your Primary Care Trust ("PCT") and these include treatments and drugs for rare cancers, rare diseases, and bariatric surgery. Acute and chronic medical conditions for a host of illnesses have to undergo applications for funding under what is known as the Individual Funding Request ("IFR") process. Cancers including carcinomas, leukamias, lymphomas, sarcomas, or brain tumours which are diagnosed in the metastatic phase are also sometimes subject to restrictions on funding of treatment. Consultants on behalf of patients have to undergo the process of applying to a panel of the PCT, and sometimes having to appeal from that panel. If negligence in diagnosis or treatment is alleged then complaints may have to be made. www.medlaw.eu is here to help you to make these applications, appeal if you have to or make complaint.www.medlaw.eu will evolve in content and guide you through changes to the NHS.
