Experienced across the board in all types of medical claims, she now increasingly focuses on highly complex neurological brain injury, spinal, amputation and obstetric injury claims, including twins, and wrongful birth cases, acting both for Claimants and Defendants. She also has a significant caseload of fatal cases, particularly those arising out of delayed cancer diagnoses, cases of suicide by mental health patients, and secondary victim claims.
In inquests, with particular expertise in medical deaths, Sarah is instructed by families and by NHS Trusts, and has sensitive experience of both jury and non jury inquests, death in custody and cases attracting considerable media interest.
From 2022 Sarah is instructed in Module 3 of the Covid Inquiry.
Sarah also defends before both the GMC and GDC, where her experience encompasses alleged personal and professional misconduct cases, clinical malpractice, professional fraud and non clinical criminal matters, as well as health and substance dependency cases.
