Welcome to the Autumn edition of the Clinical Negligence Briefing.
Here, Holly Tibbitts analyses recent causation decisions in birth injury cases where ‘every minute counts’. I then give you a round up of notable interim payment decisions in the context of clinical negligence claims.
We were pleased to be at the APIL Clinical Negligence Conference last week, where Stephen Glynn chaired one of the morning’s sessions. It was good to meet up with so many of our clients.
Next week, Deka’s Clinical Negligence team are thrilled to be hosting a half day conference in London on the topic of surgery. There will be presentations from three acclaimed medical experts who will be sharing insights from their day to day practice and experience of working on clinical negligence claims.
Dr Wael Agur and our own Laura Elfield will together provide an up to date view of issues surrounding vaginal mesh litigation, including in relation to the law on consent. Mr John Leach will follow with an exploration of spinal infection in the clinical negligence context and Professor Bob Masterton will be joining us to discuss the management of patients with sepsis. Finally, Deka’s Abigail Stamp will provide a talk on surgical mishaps, candour and disclosure.
Our conference is currently at capacity but if you’d like to be added to our reserve list please email events@dekachambers.com
