Medico-Legal: Histopathology (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 have an immediate requirement for an independent expert to prepare a Clinical Negligence Causation Report relating to antenatal, intrapartum and neonatal care.

The instruction involves reviewing approximately 1,072 pages of medical records together with supporting radiology to provide an independent opinion on causation. A claimant examination is not anticipated, although an appointment may be arranged should you consider one clinically necessary. Confidential case details will only be shared following an initial suitability assessment and conflict check.
