What makes a good expert witness? In this blog, Nurse Julie reflects on the importance of impartiality, legal training, and collaboration between solicitors and experts in building stronger and fairer cases.

When expert witnesses rely too heavily on previous opinions, the results can be misleading and even damaging. In this post, Nurse Julie reflects on the risks of anchoring bias and why true independence matters in every case she takes on.

Viewed from a clinical standpoint, aesthetic medicine is founded on the four fundamental principles of medical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice.

Here is an explanation of what constitutes a reasonable body, how it is evaluated, and its role in determining the standard of care.

In aesthetic medicine, obtaining valid consent is about more than just obtaining a signature from the patient. It’s a process that ensures the patient is fully informed and understands what they’re agreeing to.

Regulations can sometimes be unclear in the world of aesthetics and cosmetic procedures, and an expert witness serves as a trusted voice in ensuring fairness when dealing with complications.

Finding the right expert witness ensures that you have the most reliable support when presenting your case.

My decision to become an expert witness in aesthetic medicine stems from a combination of professional dedication, patient safety, and a commitment to improving standards in this rapidly growing industry.
