• Support throughout onboarding and case coordination
• Work allocated according to your clinical expertise and availability

This opportunity is particularly suited to Paediatrics specialists with prior Medico-Legal experience and report writing skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Review medical records, letters of instruction, and letters of claim related to potential clinical negligence cases
• Provide structured, evidence-based screening reports addressing breach of duty and causation
• Respond clearly to specific questions provided by the instructing party
