I would recommend the course wholeheartedly to busy clinicians who wish to develop their portfolios as expert witnesses in the next stage of their consultant career progression. The course broadens the mind, helps sharpen critical thinking, improves clinical acumen and helps you analyse complex information to arrive at balanced judgements. I can honestly say that it has improved my clinical practice that extra step further.
