What is the University of Strathclyde Inspire MediLaw
Expert Witness Certificate for Healthcare Professionals?

The University of Strathclyde Inspire MediLaw Expert Witness Certificate offers healthcare professionals a comprehensive and rigorous pathway to excellence in medico-legal practice.

This prestigious certification program combines intensive training with practical application, ensuring participants are thoroughly prepared for the challenges of expert witness work.

The certification process begins with Inspire MediLaw’s renowned two-day expert witness training course, led by both medical and legal specialists in clinical negligence and personal injury.

Participants then complete four online modules, including a crucial report-writing exercise that receives personalized feedback from experienced solicitors.

The journey culminates in an assessment day at the University of Strathclyde, where candidates must pass a multiple-choice test and undergo a simulated cross-examination based on their prepared report.

Beyond certification, we provide ongoing support to help healthcare professionals thrive in their medico-legal careers, offering a solid foundation for those seeking to establish themselves as credible and competent expert witnesses in the legal arena.
