I am a Bond Solon–certified Expert Witness and HCPC-registered Consultant Dietitian with over 15 years’ experience across NHS, private, academic, and international healthcare settings. I provide independent, court-focused expert opinion in matters relating to nutrition, dietetic care, and nutrition-related physical health outcomes.
I have prepared and submitted over 50 CPR Part 35–compliant expert reports and have provided expert evidence in civil, family, criminal, and coronial proceedings. I am experienced in working to the procedural requirements of CPR Part 35, Criminal Procedure Rules Part 19, and Family Procedure Rules Part 25, and I understand my overriding duty to the Court.
My medico-legal work spans England & Wales, Scotland, the Republic of Ireland, and Gibraltar, reflecting international clinical practice and cross-jurisdictional experience. I am registered with the Gibraltar Medical Registration Board in addition to my UK professional registration and am familiar with differences in procedural approach, disclosure standards, and reporting expectations across jurisdictions.
My expert opinion is grounded in extensive hands-on clinical practice as a Consultant Dietitian at King Edward VII’s Hospital, London, alongside prior NHS roles across paediatrics, acute medicine, surgery, gastroenterology, and secure mental health services. I have particular expertise in cases involving paediatric growth faltering, feeding difficulties, nutritional neglect, malnutrition, enteral and parenteral nutrition, refeeding risk, and nutrition-related complications following illness, injury, or surgery.
Alongside my clinical and medico-legal work, I have held academic lecturing roles in undergraduate and postgraduate dietetics, contributing to my ability to explain complex nutritional evidence clearly and objectively for courts and tribunals.
I accept instructions only within my professional expertise as a dietitian and do not provide opinions on medical diagnosis, psychological injury, credibility, or matters outside nutrition and dietetics. My approach is evidence-based, proportionate, and independent, with careful attention to scope, transparency, and jurisdictional requirements.
