About Karan:

Qualifications: MRCOG, MBBS, BSc

Sampat completed his undergraduate training in London in 2006. He strengthened his specialty skills in obstetrics and gynaecology through training in the East of England region, during which time he became a Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. He enhanced his experience in maternal medicine, advanced labour ward practice and medical education by achieving the advanced Royal College modules (ATSMs) in these areas of special interest. This included two years being trained by experts (Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge).

In 2018, Sampat was appointed as a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist by Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust.

During his tenure as obstetric lead (2018 – 2022), his NHS trust was awarded a Care Quality Commission rating of ‘good’. 

Being awarded the Cardiff University Bond Solon Expert Witness Certificate (Civil Law) (in 2022) has prepared him for writing structured reports and to be cross-examined in a courtroom.

Sampat’s current practice involves leading a maternal medicine clinic every. He cater for mothers with complex cardiac conditions, along with liver and kidney problems. 

He is also responsible for the acute activity on the labour ward for his trust for over 870 hours per year. His NHS trust has 5000 deliveries per year. And directly supervises at least five obstetrician led deliveries, mainly in the form of C-sections, per week.

Now, as an accredited expert witness, Sampat’s current ratio of claimant to defendant instructions is approximately 40 :60. Earlier in 2024, he was invited to be an ‘external expert’ by NHS trusts, which have been under national media scrutiny.
