Biography
I have been involved in health law since 1993, covering all aspects of clinical negligence and areas of medicine. I have a particular interest in birth injury claims, and adult and child brain and spinal injuries.
What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
Following my degree I secured a position with a local law firm specialising in Health Law. The fascinating and complex combination of medicine and the law inspired me to follow this career.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
Making sure that those injured by medical accidents can be assured of help and care for their long-term needs.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
Life with a family of 5 (plus various animals) keeps me busy and active. We enjoy living close to the Peak District and regularly make the most of what it has to offer. I am also heavily involved in our local church, supporting it in many ways.
