EXPERT WITNESS FOUNDATION DAY -
CLINICAL NEGLIGENCE COURSE

COURSE INTRODUCTION

This expert witness training focuses on specific aspects of the law for those writing clinical negligence reports. Negligence may be alleged in any area of medicine, but some of the most common areas for litigation include emergency medicine, surgery and obstetrics.

This course covers:

• General expert duties
  
• Legal breach of duty
  
• Informed consent
  
• Report writing
  
• Other CPR 35 duties
  
• Conference with counsel
  
• Giving evidence in court in (alleged) clinical negligence cases against medical staff
  
  

Experts will each be given an opportunity to fully explore the issues surrounding expert evidence in clinical negligence cases and how to avoid litigation in their own practice.

Attending ensures entry onto the SpecialistInfo Faculty of Expert Witnesses listing, for eligible medical professionals, and awards 5 CPD points.

In person or live online options are available – please check options for each date. Bookings can be made through our booking page below or we can raise an invoice addressed to you or your Trust by emailing lisa@specialistinfo.com.

The course presenters are Jonathan Dingle and Andrea Barnes, leading barristers from Normanton Chambers.
