medicine, resulting in a reputation and recognition as one of pain medicine’s
authorities international and leaders.
Is there a referral to a pain specialist or care
expert in terms of further treatment and
assistance with recovery?
Dr Grady is Past Dean of the Faculty of Pain Medicine of the Royal College of
Anaesthetists of the United Kingdom.
She has published extensively, including six books, five medical manuals, fourteen
chapters, three national guidelines and over fifty articles. With more than 32 years’
experience in Pain Medicine - over 30 of them as a consultant - Dr Grady has
provided expert evidence in personal injury cases for three decades, producing an
average of twenty-eight reports per year. She is instructed by both Claimant and
Defendant solicitors (around 90:10) and has also received joint instructions.
Have the claimant’s solicitors advised further
medical evidence is being obtained or they
cannot yet disclose medical evidence?
She is highly experienced in preparing joint statements and has formal training in
report writing. She has attended court to give oral evidence on three occasions and
is known for her timely responses, accessibility and regular engagement with
counsel and legal teams.
Is there any evidence of psychological issues?
If one or more of these red 昀氀ags are present, then
it may be a key indicator in identifying a potential
chronic pain case. Proactive steps can be taken
following identi昀椀cation to ensure that these cases
are carefully managed and claim life cycles reduced.
See below for our very helpful chronic pain guide
for further information on tactical approaches in
these claims to achieve this.
Dr Grady has a particular interest in chronic pain, especially the transition from
acute to chronic pain. Her background in psychiatry informs her focus on how pain
affects daily functioning and mood, and her long-standing interest in the
mind–body relationship originates from her BSc in central nervous system
pharmacology.
