Neonatal Hypoglycaemia
Is a condition which can cause brain damage to an infant. Doctors often do not recognise the extent to which the child is suffering from neonatal hypoglycaemia and as a result do not take appropriate action to prevent brain damage.

Hip Dysplasia
Is a dislocation of the leg from the pelvis and is a frequent cause of litigation. Examination of the hips should be carried out at regular intervals until a child is walking normally. To avoid a claim for medical negligence doctors and nurses should take every opportunity to check a child’s hips and if necessary refer the child on for specialist diagnosis. Hip dysplasia is often not diagnosed until the child is walking which may have already caused serious long-term damage that requires immediate operative treatment the outcome of which is often less than satisfactory.

Kernicterus and Hyperbilirubinaemia
Are conditions that can lead to cerebral palsy. Doctors should recognise the signs and symptoms of an infant suffering from kernicterus and hyperbilirubinaemia and take appropriate action. Failure to diagnose in a timely manner can result in an action for compensation for medical negligence
