The Effective and Efficient Clinical Negligence Expert Witness

Have you have ever wondered what a clinical negligence expert witness does, or thought about becoming one yourself? Or are you a clinical expert witness who wants to make sure their work is watertight in court?

Clinical negligence expert evidence is tough. Your view will be challenged, picked over and, in some cases, simply attacked. In those circumstances this book will be invaluable to you. It will prevent you from making mistakes in the first place and it will assist you when it is wrongly suggested that you have.

Michael Young has written a clear framework within which novices and experts alike can develop their skills, knowledge and their practice. His book sets out what a clinical negligence expert witness will be expected to know and what they will be expected to do. More importantly, it shows you how to do it well: how to engage with solicitors, set your fees and, most importantly, how to write good English. You will find real reports written by real experts and also audio material in which practising experts talk openly about their experiences, giving you a greater insight into this challenging role.
