Courts call upon expert witnesses from the medical field often, but there are few, if any books written by qualified geriatricians in this context. In 2016 Doctor Geoffrey Phillips FRCP was selected by the prestigious Lawyer Monthly magazine for an expert witness award in recognition of his specialist knowledge and experience. Offering his years of experience and many real-life examples from his past cases, he has written a comprehensive guide to those who are thinking about embarking on a career to become an independent medical consultant, acting as an expert witness in court. Each aspect of the process is explained thoroughly in an understandable and clear way, covering all the typical concepts and problems encountered. Whether you’re merely interested in medico-legal work or wondering if becoming a court expert witness is for you, you will find this book an invaluable source of advice, encouragement and practical know-how.
