Medico Legal Experience

I have worked as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Senior Lecturer in Orthopaedic Surgery at the Hammersmith Hospital Trust and the Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine for a period of more than twenty years. For ten years I was in administrative charge of the Orthopaedic Unit at the Hammersmith Hospital and Royal Post Graduate Medical School. I was also in charge of the Accident & Emergency Department at Hammersmith Hospital for approximately five years. I was involved in trauma with on call responsibilities for thirty years. I have had a particular interest in fracture management, including external fixation and the causation and management of spinal pain.
