Medico-Legal: Dermatology (Consultant)

About ProMedical

ProMedical provides specialist medico-legal services to law firms, insurers, regulators and public bodies requiring independent clinical opinion.

We operate as both an expert provider and a medical reporting organisation, managing the full pathway from instruction and expert matching through to reporting and case coordination. Our work is built around clinically matched experts, structured reporting, and strong governance standards to ensure accuracy, independence, and consistency.

The Opportunity

We are currently seeking an experienced Consultant Dermatologist with a specialist interest in iron extravasation injuries and skin staining to join our growing Medico-Legal Panel.

We have an immediate requirement for an independent expert to prepare a Clinical Negligence Condition & Prognosis Report following a claimant examination and review of the medical records.

The instruction relates to the long-term dermatological effects of an iron extravasation injury sustained during an intravenous iron infusion. The successful expert will undertake a medico-legal examination, review approximately 725 pages of medical records, and provide an independent opinion regarding the claimant's current condition, skin staining, cosmetic impact, future prognosis, treatment options and long-term outcome. Confidential case details will only be shared following an initial suitability assessment and conflict check.
