Medico Legal Pain Expertise
The interest in medico legal pain expertise has increased enormously in the last few years and I now provide between 100 and 200 reports per annum on all aspects of pain medicine including personal injury and clinical negligence.
I have provided reports for defendants (45%), Claimants (45%) and joint (10%) on all matters related to pain management. In addition I am also invited to provide opinion for the Medical Defence Organisations and through them the GMC.
