Medicolegal & Expert Opinion

I have been an Expert Witness in  Gynaecology & Gynaecological Oncology since 2018. I accept instructions in Gynaecology  and Gynaecological Oncology on behalf of both Claimants and Defendants. I have attended courses concerning the writing of medical reports, the implications of the Civil Procedure Rules, and the role of the joint expert. My particular areas of expertise include:

• Gynaecological Oncology

• Colposcopy & Screening

• Endometriosis

• Complex pelvic surgery

• Fertility sparing surgery

• Fibroids

• General Gynaecology

I enjoy the challenges that medicolegal work presents and currently provide 40-50 reports  per year . Approximately 90% of my instruction instructions are received on behalf of the Claimant and 10% on behalf of the defendants. This reflect pattern of instructions received rather than preference to either side. 

My current post is a consultant gynaecological oncology surgeon at Oxford University Hospitals. I have been a consultant  gynaecologist & gynaecological oncology surgeon since 2010. I have a high volume surgical workload. I am expert in complex gynaecological surgery, minimally invasive surgery including robotics, laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery. I carry two cancer clinics/week. In addition, I have  a regular colposcopy and out patient hysteroscopy clinics. In my private practice, I provide elective care for all categories of problems including general gynaecology, endometriosis, fibroids pelvic reconstructive surgery as well as cancer screening and treatment.
