Medico-Legal Experience
I am fully up-to date with the Woolf reforms and the subsequent changes this has made to report compiling. My reports are fully compliant with the Civil Procedures Rules, 1998 - Part 35, and subsequent Practise directions 35 (October 2009) and 113 (April 2020).
My work is predominantly Personal Injury claims. My expertise is in General Trauma & Orthopaedic conditions. This includes a special interest in injuries of the lower limb and foot & ankle / sports injuries.
My current NHS appointment is as a Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Larbert, Scotland. I also consult at BMI Kings Park Hospital in Stirling and Harley Health Village, Harley Street, London. I am fellowship trained in Foot & Ankle Surgery, Trauma Surgery, Arthroplasty (Joint Replacements) and Sports Surgery. I have treated patients with fractures and soft tissue injuries.
I have been producing medicolegal reports for some time and have a cumulative experience of practising medicine over last 25 years.
I have a strong background in research, having been awarded a MSc in Sports Medicine and widely published in the orthopaedic literature. I am an Academic e-tutor for MCh, Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Edinburgh. I have served as faculty at RSM (Royal Society of Medicine) London, Imperial College courses and international meetings like SICOT for training orthopaedic surgeons.
I have been a team doctor for England Football Team C, England XI/UEFA regions Cup Squad, MKDONS Academy, Jersey Derby, ECCA (English Cross-Country Athletics) as well as MSA registered official doctor.
The average time to be seen is 2-4 weeks. The turn-around time in returning a completed report, if all medical records have been made available, is around 2 weeks.
