Learning objectives:

  • Understand the essential requirements for providing medico-legal advice and expert evidence
  • Develop your writing and evidence-giving skills to initiate or improve your ability to provide expert medico-legal evidence and opinion

The afternoon session will explore the latest insights and risks of introducing new technologies in healthcare.
