Coronavirus and clinical negligence

David Sellu, Consultant Surgeon and author of ‘Did he save lives?’

Surgeon David Sellu recounts his extraordinary personal story of being prosecuted and convicted for the death of a patient in his care – and serving time in prison. It later emerged that David was the victim of an unfair trial – partly due to poor medical evidence.

David talks about how the law affected him personally, the vital role of the expert witness and patient safety.
