Are there any alternative ways of highlighting shortcomings in healthcare other than by pursuing a claim for compensation?

Yes. For NHS treatment a complaint process exists (see the relevant section of this web site). Organisations providing treatment outside the NHS may have their own complaints process. Many healthcare professionals have professional regulatory bodies such as the General Medical Council and General Dental Council to whom concerns about individual practitioners can be directed. In other circumstances, contacting your local Member of Parliament or press may be an alternative to seeking legal advice.
