AvMA ... ACTION AGAINST MEDICAL ACCIDENTS
The Charity for Patient Safety and Justice
The Charity for Patient Safety and Justice
Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA) is the independent charity that promotes better patient safety and justice for people who have been affected by a medical accident.
A medical accident is where avoidable harm has been caused as a result of treatment, or failure to treat appropriately.
AvMA believes that whatever the cause of a medical accident, the people affected deserve explanations, support and, where appropriate, compensation. Furthermore, we all deserve to know that the necessary steps will be taken to prevent similar accidents being repeated.
AvMA provides free and confidential advice and support to people affected by medical accidents, via our helpline and casework service, and can refer to our panel of specialist clinical negligence solicitors, or other sources of support where appropriate.
