Introduction

This short webinar will focus on the nuances and specific requirements of witness statement drafting in clinical negligence claims (whether for a Claimant or Defendant).

This webinar is aimed at all those involved in drafting witness statements in clinical negligence claims and it assumes a working knowledge of the format and content of witness statements generally.

What You Will Learn

This short webinar will cover the following:

  • Who needs to give evidence where they may be many caregivers for example, or many clinicians involved in some aspect of the Claimant’s care
  • Defendant’s witness statements. What is and what is not opinion evidence and therefore the proper boundaries of clinicians’ witness statements
  • Records versus recollection. A recap of the caselaw as it informs statement drafting where there are factual issues about either the accuracy or the completeness of the records
  • Consent cases. The need for a cogent explanation from a Claimant as to why they would have declined or postponed the index surgery
  • General hints and tips
