I am an experienced NHS Consultant in Paediatric Intensive Care and General Paediatrics and
I am experienced in assessing (and their management) babies and children. I have
experience in the assessment of children with medical conditions; developmental delay;
learning difficulties; physical abuse and neglect. I undertake independent assessments in a
variety of areas and write reports for the courts relating to children and parents or other
From a medicolegal perspective, I have prepared expert reports for the last 5 years, with
both claimant and defendant reports in medical negligence cases, and criminal proceedings
on behalf of the court and defence. I have prepared more than 10 reports for the Civil,
Family and Criminal Courts; and given expert evidence in Court accordingly. These reports
have covered public and private law assessments of children; and assessment of injuries
(including their causality), and assessing concerns raised by individuals (including parents,
solicitors and/or Police) about the care of babies and children in both acute (District General
and Tertiary Hospitals) and chronic (including their care at home and other settings).
