The conference is unique in bringing together leading experts from both the medical and legal sectors to exchange insights on medico-legal issues, fostering a deeper understanding of clients' medical and legal needs, their intersection, and how professionals can collaborate effectively to serve the best interests of their patients and clients.

I learnt so much in one day and left feeling inspired and motivated. It was a privilege to be surrounded by so many leaders in their fields.

Excellent speakers and stimulating topics, good choice of venue, high standard of catering, all very well organised.

Relevant to expert practice.

It is a conference for professionals but keeps a fun, informal element.

By far the best conference I have ever been to.

Who Should Attend?

This conference is ideal for professionals involved in Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence, including solicitors, barristers, and consultants from a range of medical and associated specialities. Whether you specialise in Pain Medicine, Neurosurgery, Spinal Surgery, Orthopaedics, Neurology, Psychiatry, Psychology, Rheumatology, or Rehabilitation Medicine, this event offers invaluable insights and networking opportunities for experts working at the intersection of law and healthcare.
