Her reports are clear, impartial, evidence‑based, and grounded in extensive clinical, educational, and regulatory expertise.
Core Services
Preliminary Screening Opinions and Early Liability Guidance
Early case evaluations to determine the viability of a claim, identify key issues, and provide initial views on breach of duty, causation, and foreseeability. These screening opinions assist legal teams in shaping case strategy and determining next steps.
Detailed Breach of Duty Analyses and Full Liability Reports
Comprehensive expert reports examining the standard of care delivered, adherence to clinical, regulatory, and professional standards, and whether the practitioner’s actions met the expectations of a reasonably competent clinician. These reports include structured analysis of breach of duty, causation, contributory factors, and prognosis.
Condition and Prognosis Assessments
Objective evaluation of the claimant’s current clinical presentation, the impact of the alleged incident, and the likely trajectory of recovery. This includes consideration of long‑term functional, aesthetic, and psychological outcomes, as well as the need for future treatment or intervention.
Chronologies, Case Mapping, and Advisory Reports
Clear, structured chronologies and case maps that distil complex clinical information into an accessible timeline. Advisory reports help legal teams understand the clinical context, identify gaps in evidence, and prepare targeted questions for disclosure or cross‑examination.
Regulatory, Governance, and Professional Standards Evaluations
Expert analysis of compliance with national standards, professional codes, and regulatory frameworks. This includes assessment of clinical governance systems, risk‑management processes, record‑keeping, supervision, escalation pathways, and practitioner accountability at both individual and organisational levels.
Joint Expert Discussions and Statements
Participation in joint expert meetings, preparation of joint statements, and clear articulation of areas of agreement and disagreement. Sharon’s approach is collaborative, transparent, and aligned with the requirements of the Civil Procedure Rules.
Court Attendance and Exper Evidence
Attend court to provide oral evidence when required. Sharon delivers confident, impartial, and well‑reasoned testimony, grounded in clinical expertise, regulatory knowledge, and adherence to the duties of an expert witness.
