I have been writing medico-legal reports since 1990, starting with large numbers of industrial noise damage cases in Sheffield. I have always followed the principles of impartiality behind the Woolf guidelines, well before these became formalized in the Civil Procedures Rules 1999.

I currently produce around 20 medico-legal reports per year, some commissioned by claimant, some defendant, and increasingly as a single joint expert. In the personal injury field, common areas for reports are

  • industrial noise-induced hearing loss
  • tinnitus
  • ear, nose and throat injuries from road traffic accidents
  • medical negligence cases

I have produced reports commissioned by both claimant and defendant solicitors and have no no bias or preference.

  • I have a scientific, analytical and logical approach to this work.
  • I have sound grasp of legal principles and the Civil Procedures Rules.
  • I can sort, summarise and present a case effectively.

Mrs Fairley runs a highly efficient office and we have a rapid turnaround for reports. All reports are produced according to current rules and protocols.

Court appearances may be difficult to fit in with a very busy NHS and private medical practice.
