This is the course for those who are new to the specialist field of clinical negligence. The event is especially suitable for trainee and newly qualified solicitors, paralegals, legal executives and medico-legal advisors, and will provide the fundamental knowledge necessary to develop a career in clinical negligence.
“Good structure of the course, following the progression of a case” – 2016 delegate
Expert speakers with a wealth of experience will cover all stages of the investigative and litigation process relating to clinical negligence claims from the claimants’ perspective. Places are limited to ensure a focused working group.
Having had to postpone this conference in January due to the Covid pandemic, we are very much looking forward to welcoming you to Birmingham in May!
