Medico-Legal Training

 

Accredited Expert Witness training for clinical negligence – Inspire Medilaw.

 

This training covered:

• Report writing skills and requirements

• The particulars of conferences with Counsel

• The meeting of Expert Witnesses

• Giving evidence in Court

 

Training was delivered by a mixture of Barristers, Solicitors and Expert Witnesses. Inspire Medilaw provide ongoing accreditation and I am registered for this service.

 

Medico-Legal Experience

​

I have been undertaking expert witness reporting on Clinical Negligence cases since 2021 for both Claimant and Defendant Law firms. My current split is roughly 80% claimant and 20% Defendant.

 

I have prepared in the region of 35 reports per year and attended Conferences where required.

 

I am able to accept GP related work, where the events started after August 2014 as this is when I qualified as a GP.

​

​​​GP Clinical Experience

 

• I am a full time GP since August 2014. I have experience in both salaried GP and GP partner roles. I have worked in large teaching practices with a diverse patient population. Within my role as a GP, I am involved in the acute and chronic care of patients of all ages and have a wealth of clinical experience in managing these patients.

 

• Since 2015 I have worked in out of hours GP settings across multiple services including the ‘out of hours GP’ in Sheffield, in GP HUB clinics and as part of streaming service at the Sheffield Children’s hospital A+E. This is on a sessional basis, on average around 10-15 hours a week. The clinical exposure related to these roles in keeping with that of an urgent care centre. Patients presenting to out of hours services are in general more acute in nature with a risk profile greater than that of a regular GP role due to the reduced access to the clinical notes.

 

• Within all of the roles as a GP I am involved in training, - see below – This teaching experience acts to not only embed my clinical understanding but has enabled me a level of understanding of these roles within primary care and their remit within practice.

       Care Practitioner trainees on both a local and national level. My educational role is based around
