About us
25 years promoting safety and justice!
Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA) is the independent charity which promotes better patient safety and justice for people who have been affected by a medical accident. A 'medical accident' is where unintended 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.
2007-2008 was AvMA's 25th Anniversary. Visit the special section of our site to see how it all began and find out about the various activities taking place to raise awareness of our cause and much needed funds!
AvMA is a registered charity ( in England & Wales number 299123; in Scotland number SCO39683), and a company limited by guarantee, registered in England (Number 2239250).
