Medicolegal work
 

I have been acting as an Expert Witness since being appointed as a Consultant in 2012 during which time I have prepared in excess of 1500 medicolegal reports.
The majority of these have been in low value Personal Injury cases predominantly instructed by the Claimant. I have experience in preparing Joint reports and have also prepared reports for Clinical Negligence cases including Liability and Causation, and Condition and Prognosis reports.

I have prepared in excess of 400 reports instructed by Defendants solicitors for NHS Trusts assessing Breach of Duty, Causation and Condition and Prognosis when a Letter of Claim is received. The majority of my Negligence work therefore has been instructed by the Defendant.

As my clinical work has evolved and is now almost exclusively limited to foot and ankle problems my medicolegal work has become more subspecialised as well; I limit myself now to issues affecting the foot and ankle and no longer accept instructions in the generality of Orthopaedic trauma.

I always find working with Solicitors and Barristers during more involved cases fascinating and I am very keen to further that exposure in the future. 

 I have undergone training in the medico-legal process, and I am aware of my responsibilities under the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) pertaining to expert witnesses.
