Inspire MediLaw is always my first stop in my search for reputable medical experts. I have found their panel to include high quality medical experts who in particular, have experience in clinical negligence actions. I know that Inspire provide excellent training to theses medical professionals who wish to lend their skill sets to the legal profession. This also includes an certification process which gives me that extra confidence when embarking on my search for an expert. Inspire are certainly committed to providing quality when it comes to medical experts.
As an experienced expert who started on the journey of providing export reports for the court well before the introduction of expert witness training, I was well aware of the need to validate my knowledge, understanding and practice.
The Inspire MediLaw 2-day course at Oxford, followed by a multiple choice questionnaire and a cross examination at Strathclyde University was the perfect stage for conducting an appraisal of my expert witness skills. I found the Oxford course, provided by a knowledgeable and engaging faculty to be educative, challenging, collegiate and fun. The Strathclyde experience was slightly more nerve wracking but administered with care and consideration.
I have no hesitation to recommend this programme to all who have decided to engage in expert witness work wherever they are on their journey.
I underwent a medicolegal training at Inspire Medilaw to enhance my comprehension of cases in my specialty and embark on a career as an expert witness. Among various courses, I found Inspire Medilaw’s to be the most comprehensive. The organization, led by a professional and highly experienced team, was efficient, focusing solely on relevant topics.
The course provided me with a fresh perspective on medicolegal work, igniting my enthusiasm to start a career as an expert witness. Opting for their certification, I discovered user-friendly modules, excellent support, and practical assessments.
The continuous guidance, whether in cases, report writing, or business advice, was invaluable. Successfully passing the certification exam, I attribute my improved report quality to Inspire
Medilaw’s outstanding support throughout the training and certification process.
A big thank you to yourself and the others involved in this excellent training. I must admit when I got the final agenda for the day it looked a bit scary and I wondered what on earth I
was doing!
Now I can look back on it I realise what an excellent training it has been, setting me up well to continue my medico-legal work. I felt fellow experts express the same enthusiasm for the
work that I have.
I do appreciate everyone’s' time and effort in getting the course and assessment together in such an effective way.
The Medical Directory is a fantastic resource for finding the right expert witness for a case. The range of specialisms available is broad and the experts are always delighted to help. Knowing that members of the Medical Directory have undergone the rigorous and top-quality training process provided by Inspire MediLaw gives me confidence in instructing them.
