As an MDU member, you can tell us about a complaint, claim or other medico-legal issue by using our online 'Report a case' form.

When we receive your form, we'll give you a case ID and send you an email so you can attach and return any documents we might need to address your case.

Please provide as much information as possible, but do not include any data that might identify a patient.
Patients should only be referred to by their initials, date of birth and gender.
Do not include any details of relatives, spouses or partners, as this could also identify the patient.
If your enquiry is urgent, please also call our advice line on 0800 716 646.

We'll refer your enquiry to a member of the advisory team and will aim to respond as soon as possible.
