A claimant in a clinical negligence action wishes to obtain expert evidence on three distinct issues: whether the defendant surgeon's operative technique fell below the acceptable standard; whether the hospital's post-operative monitoring protocols were adequate; and whether the claimant's subsequent psychological harm was a foreseeable consequence of the alleged negligence. The claimant's solicitor is instructing experts and drafting letters of instruction. The claimant's legal team includes a partner who previously worked as a nurse and has strong views on appropriate post-operative care standards.
