I have held a number of national leadership positions including President of the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland. I have authored national safety and practice guidelines, original articles, books, book chapters, review articles and editorials on a variety of anaesthesia-related topics.

My specialist areas of expertise include neuro and spinal anaesthesia, trauma, orthopaedic, emergency anaesthesia and procedural sedation, and in safety and practice guidelines. I also have significant experience of anaesthesia for general, gynaecological, urological, and ophthalmic surgery.

Medico-Legal & Expert Witness Services

I provide reports for the claimant and defendant in clinical negligence matters. I have provided reports for the GMC, the Coroner and in criminal matters, and I have appeared at the Coroner’s Court, Criminal Court, the GMC, and the civil court (Dublin).

I offer a speedy service, with draft reports usually available within four weeks of receiving instructions and documents (the latter preferably sent to me electronically).

Please contact me if you wish to discuss a case. I can usually tell you immediately if I am able to assist by providing a Part 35 report, a preliminary/screening report, or other advice. T&Cs and fee information are available on request.
