Medico-Legal Report Writing in Civil Claims (Core Skills)

Programme presenters: Giles Eyre (9 Gough Square) & Lynden Alexander (Professional Solutions)
Price: £195 plus VAT

This is an excellent resource for all medical professionals who undertake or are intending to undertake work as a medico-legal expert.

Successful completion of this e-learning programme and the online assessment test means the specialist will be certified by the Expert Witness Institute. This provides an important mark of competence as well as providing a lawyer with assurance as to a medico-legal expert’s understanding and ability.

The resource has five user-friendly modules including 2.5 hours of video presentation. The modules can be easily accessed and there is an online assessment at the end. Each module has an introductory section, a learning section and a key point summary.

A number of the modules have ingenious and easy to understand charts, causation graphs and pyramid graphs together with video discussion topics all of which help to bring a rather dry subject to life. There are also slide handouts and links to relevant parts
