Professional background

I know the importance of fighting for answers, accountability and fair compensation when something has gone wrong during hospital treatment, and I strive to deliver those to my clients.

I represent patients who have been harmed or catastrophically injured in hospitals, or while receiving medical care and treatment. I have represented families of those who have died in hospital in inquests and High Court rulings that attracted widespread media attention. I have acted in cases of medical negligence leading to cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy and other birth injuries; surgical errors and negligence; GP negligence and delayed cancer diagnosis to name only a few examples.

I present frequently at conferences on medical negligence and inquests, and I am regularly asked by local and national media to comment on key developments in medical negligence litigation.

In addition to my legal practice, I am actively involved in raising awareness about prevention of birth injuries and advocating for improvements in healthcare practices. 

Contact me today to discuss what happened during your treatment. Once I have heard your story, I will give you honest, straightforward and empathic advice on how best to pursue the accountability and closure you deserve.
