Description

I am Professor of Clinical and Experimental Neurosurgery at the University of Edinburgh, Honorary consultant neurosurgeon at NHS Lothian,  clinical director of neurosurgery.

I provide expert reports for clinical negligence, personal injury claims, and criminal cases across the range of general elective and emergency adult neurosurgical practice. I have received instructions from solicitors across the UK, and internationally, from litigants, prosecutors and the defence. I have worked with the Procurator Fiscal, and am on the National Crime Agency expert witness register. I have experience attending court.

Areas of medico-legal expertise include:
• Adult elective and emergency neurosurgery
• Head injury
• Cauda equina syndrome
• Brain tumour diagnosis and management

Medico-legal training
I enrolled on the Bond Solon Expert Witness Certificate through the University of Aberdeen. This includes 4 days of training, in Excellence in report writing, Courtroom Skills, Cross Examination and Law and Procedure. I attended Inspire MediLaw’s two day Expert Witness Training (Dec 2018) which is accredited by the Royal Society of Medicine.

I understand the need to provide a high-quality report expeditiously. I will agree time scales at the time of receiving an instruction. I aim to have most reports completed within 4 weeks of receipt of the necessary clinical documentation.
