Expert Witness Journal Issue 64 December 2025 - Flipbook - Page 4
Welcome to the
Expert Witness Journal
Hello and welcome to the 64th edition of the Expert Witness Journal.
Last month saw the Bond Solon Expert Witness Conference at Church House, London. It was great to
meet so many experts old and new, representing over 80 areas of expertise. We always look forward to
meeting experts ‘face to face’, to hear the diverse and interesting talks gaining a valuable insight into the
thoughts and developments of experts.
The main focus of this issue is Medico-Legal, psychiatry and psychology with excellent articles on ‘Behind
Every Death: Lessons from a Transplant Surgeon and Medical Examiner in Clinical Negligence’ by
Mohammad Ayaz Hossain, ‘Remote Robot-assisted Surgery Raises Liability Questions’ by Jill Patterson
and Philippa Wheeler at Leigh Day, ‘The Inevitability of Greater Regulation: What Does the Future Hold
for Experts?’ by Tom Thurlow and Lara Tulip at Weightmans, ‘Holding the Risk in Medical Treatment
Cases’ by Alex Ruck Keene and ‘Beyond the Pill: The Medicolegal Signi昀椀cance of Deep TMS in Managing
Treatment-Resistant Psychiatric Disorders’ by Dr Behrouz Nabavi.
In this issue we also feature ‘Indirect Optic Nerve Trauma Resulting in Visual Field Loss’ by Nicholas
Jacobs, ‘“Medical misadventure” Inquest Conclusion: What are the Implications for Plastic Surgeons and
Clinics?’ by Tracy Sell-Peters, ‘What does a Nephrologist do?’ by Dr Michael Robson and ‘What Makes a
Good Expert?’ by Guy Jackson and Jason Sharp at Overford.
Our next issue will be published in February 2026; it will have a main Forensics feature, if you have
a submission please email us. We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our readers a happy
holidays and a peaceful new year.
