In the legal context, a duty of care is the obligation of someone to be careful in doing something that will possibly harm someone else. This carefulness is stated in the Hippocratic Oath as “never do harm to anyone”. If harm is done, that’s medical negligence. For more details click here http://www.medicalnegligencesolicitorsuk.co.uk
