An expert witness is a person who is wholly independent of the patient and has not been involved in providing care or treatment to them. Some physiotherapists who have developed expertise in a given area of practice and the legal process may choose to undertake expert witness work. Expert witnesses can choose to accept a request to provide a report and must have additional education, training and competence in understanding the role and responsibilities of being an expert witness. The solicitor asking for the report will provide the instructions for the work and the documentary evidence from which the expert will create their report.

I have a background in physiotherapy, and has worked in the NHS and has several years of experience in private practice in the treatment and prevention of muscle and joint problems. My area of specialization is manual therapy and orthopaedic post surgery trauma and elective rehabilitation.

I currently works as an expert witness in Stockport and Greater Manchester.
