Anthony Barton, Medicolegal Consultant and former Assistant Coroner, investigates the negligence litigation system and patient safety; and finally James Byrne, Barrister, Deka Chambers, asks when is it substantially unjust to deny a dishonest claimant their damages?

In our Expert Witness Directory we showcase more featured experts, who are available for instruction now.

Once again, the magazine will be circulated to up to 40,000 people in the industry, including doctors, insurance companies, law firms and medico-legal agencies.
