I have taken instructions as a medical expert for over 15 years, during which time I have undertaken a Masters Degree in Medical Law (MML). I have also undertaken formal mediation training.

Since taking my first instruction from in 2010 I have provided expert opinion in approximately 100 clinical negligence cases for the Central Legal Office.

I continue to receive instructions from CLO (29 completed reports / Supplementary reports in the last 12 months). I have attended the Court of Session (DH vs Lanarkshire Health Board, BT v Forth Valley Health Board), with all other cases addressed out with the Court.

I have provided expert opinion on instruction from CLO at a Fatal Accident Enquiry. I have also been involved with the Coroners service of Northern Ireland, and a Fatal Accident Enquiry in Scotland in the last year.
