A pugnacious reformer.
"The Council of the College of Surgeons remains an irresponsible, unreformed monstrosity in the midst of English institutions – ... that is most despotic and revolting, iniquitous and insulting, on the face of the Earth". Lancet

How to Survive the Coroner’s Court — A Clinician’s Guide
10 April, 7pm - www.medico-legalsociety.org.uk
The sudden and unexpected death of a patient can be emotionally complex and overwhelming for clinicians. This book will equip medical and other healthcare professionals with the necessary information and skills to fulfil their requirements in the coroner's court confidently and competently and understand their organisation's responsibilities. Practical and straightforward, this book aims to make the unfamiliar territory of the coroner's court transparent, enabling clinicians to negotiate all eventualities. It will provide clinicians with the confidence to turn what can feel like an adversarial situation into an opportunity to engage with an important part of the healthcare system, preventing future deaths and providing understanding to relatives. It also explores the underlying necessity of complying with requirements and suggests ways to cope with the emotional impact. With chapters covering expert witnesses, legal perspectives and managing outcomes, this book is essential for any healthcare professional called to an inquest.
