In September, the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) published its own proposals for addressing clinical negligence costs while preserving access to justice.

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.

Participating in Bond Solon’s Clinical Negligence Essentials course led by Dr Jock Mackenzie was a valuable experience that significantly enhanced my understanding of clinical negligence law and the role of an expert witness.

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.

As the aesthetic industry continues to grow, so do the complexities surrounding the procedures and treatments offered, making the role of an expert witness increasingly vital.

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.
