I have been preparing expert witness reports since 2014 and I am currently accepting instructions for about four reports per month, on average. I have attended training courses in medico-legal report writing and court room skills.

I most frequently provide Condition and Prognosis reports in relation to shoulder and elbow trauma. I also have an special interest in future degeneration of the shoulder in individuals with spinal cord injury and other wheelchair uses. I do not do Medical Negligence work.

I generally examine patients at the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, Lindley HD3 3EA, but am also able to arrange domiciliary / hospital / prison examinations if required. Please see my terms and conditions, available from my secretary.

I am generally able to return a report within two weeks of seeing a client, providing all the records and imaging are made available to me for review.
