A solicitor is always present who is familiar with the course material to ensure adequate discussion and development of issues raised during the presentation.
The courses which are currently available are:-
Whiplash and Associated Injuries
Psychologist v Psychiatrist
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Personal Injury/Existing Conditions and acceleration/exacerbation
Introduction to Industrial Diseases
Paediatric Injury: A medico legal perspective
Medical Negligence: What is and what is not!
New courses will be added when necessary and can be tailored to suit law practice requirements where there is sufficient attendee numbers.
| "At law school we are trained in the law, yet when we start to practice as trainees we have no medical training whatsoever. I picked up much of my own medical knowledge from reviewing medical reports over the years and consulting a medical dictionary! The discussion forum which runs alongside each course is an ideal opportunity to ask questions of the experts. These courses are ideal for providing a personal injury practitioner with the medical background knowledge required to make it as a PI specialist." .Jeanette Miller Jeanette Miller Solicitors Manchester
