Mediation

I am an experienced mediator and the only practicing doctor on either of the panels used by NHS Resolution to mediate clinical negligence disputes.

My background as a practicing intensive care consultant gives me a unique perspective on healthcare disputes. My clinical job involves making time critical life and death decisions.

I am very used to managing disputes, as these are common in Intensive Care. The Conflicus study showed that they occur in up to 80% of end of life decisions on ICU.

Research:

I lecture nationally and internationally on mediation in healthcare and it is my major research interest:

Conflict before the courtroom: challenging cognitive biases in critical decision-making

I am the only doctor on the Court of Protection Mediation pilot project.

Specialism:

I’m happy to mediate any dispute, but specialise in healthcare mediation.

I am happy to accept instruction as a mediation clinician, where I will provide advice to a party involved in a mediation based on my experience as a clinician and mediator.

I mediate clinical negligence disputes involving NHS Resolution solely through Trust Mediation, who can be contacted here.

I am a volunteer for Resolve, who provide community mediation in Berkshire and Oxfordshire.

I’m happy to mediate anywhere in England and Wales.
