Medicolegal work

I have been providing medicolegal reports since 1996 both for clinical negligence and personal injury.

My work is split fairly evenly between plaintiff and defendant and I have been trained as a single joint expert.

I regularly provide reports for most of the major personal injury firms in the UK.

As a physician in current practice I have day-to day experience of the levels of care required in the NHS and what is and what is not "reasonable practice".

I have also given both written and verbal evidence in coroner's and criminal cases and have experience of cross-examination by QCs.

Areas of expertise

Geriatric medicine including:

  • medical negligence
  • consequences of personal injury
  • life expectancy

 

General medicine: 

  • as practiced by general physicians seeing unselected patients over age 18

 

Stroke and Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA)

  • diagnosis and treatment of stroke and TIA
  • stroke prevention
  • stroke rehabilitation
  • management of other neurological conditions with similar symptoms

Terms and conditions in brief

I can usually provide a report within six weeks of receiving a bundle.

I am able to visit patients in their homes in most of England and South Wales

My chargeable rate is £350 per hour. I charge full time for travel if a car is the best practical solution and half time plus costs for travel by public transport.

I am able to attend conferences both in person and by telephone.
