GPs deal with a wide range of medical conditions and will often refer patients to an appropriate specialist if they cannot help them directly.
If a GP does not recognise a medical condition that requires you to be seen by a specialist doctor or surgeon (such as cancer) or fails to treat a condition, you could be left with long-term effects and disabilities.
GP claims normally involve a failure to act or a negligent action which has resulted in harm to you. If a GP fails to act, they may have failed to diagnose a condition, failed to refer you to a specialist, failed to prescribe the correct medication (or dose) or failed otherwise to treat a condition. GPs see a wide range of problems and have a very large knowledge of different illnesses and conditions. However, when they do miss something, or act inappropriately, there can be serious consequences.

Making a GP negligence claim is the right decision if your GP has failed in correctly diagnosing you, failed to act in referring your condition to specialists, or made a mistake in treatment that has led to your condition becoming worse.
If you are unhappy with your treatment from your GP because they have failed in treating/diagnosing your condition in a timely manner or your GP has made a medical mistake, you can make a GP negligence claim against them.
