AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents) is a national charity which provides independent advice, information and support to people and their loved ones who feel they have been the victim of a medical accident. This includes medical and legal advice on the available options for a complaint. If an individual is seeking compensation, their caseworker can advise on their potential claim and, where appropriate, arrange a referral to a specialist medical negligence solicitor. The helpline operates at the times above.

In addition to helping individuals, Action against Medical Accidents is actively campaigning on behalf of medical accident victims. There is also a range of services for lawyers specializing in this field including the recommendation of appropriate medical experts.
