I am also a member of the Society of Expert Witnesses and am entered on the DLA register of nursing malpractice experts. I have post-registration theatre experience in orthopaedics, urology, trauma, spinal injuries, minor surgery, gynaecology and vascular nursing care. From 1999, I have worked as a Bank District Community Nurse and staff nurse on the Gynaecology Ward in Southport DGH. As from 2000 I worked as a Branch Manager with Allied Healthcare, being responsible for assessing and delivering care to more than 200 patients and managing 126 staff. Care specialised in the provision of homecare for clients requiring support to live in their own homes. Client care groups included brain injuries, spinal injuries, learning disabilities and mental health. I was a Registered Manager with Lancashire County Council, the NCSC and accordingly in compliance with the Nursing Agencies Act 1957. During this time I was a member of the mental health working group with Lancashire County Council. In December 2001 I completed a comprehensive training course which was approved by NIOSH as a manual handling instructor and risk assessment issues. In addition, I successfully completed a course leading to a Certificate in Supervisory Management. As a Registered Manager I have considerable working knowledge regarding compliance with both domestic and European Employment Law, including the Working Time Directive minimum wage legislation, Nurses Agency Act 1957, Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Manual Handling Operations 1992, Management Regulations 1999, Care Standards Act 2000, NCSC regulations, as well as COSHH, LOLER 1998, PUWER 1998, and RIDDOR 1995 regulations. Since 2002, I have been working with various client groups including acquired brain and spinal injuries, personal and clinical negligence injuries, providing case management services, training and expert witness reports. I have developed an assessment model which can be used to quantify care costs and the effectiveness of rehabilitation in both case management and nursing care expert reports. As a case manager, I arrange brain and spinal injury training and information for staff and clients. I have devised a training programme that incorporates the complications of the spinal patient and Autonomic Dysreflexia, and have delivered this training at the Southport Spinal Injuries Unit to patients, relatives and members of staff. As an expert witness, I specialise in nursing care reports, (future, past and current care costs), rehabilitation, equipment and aids costs, case management for spinal and brain injured clients, employers liability for manual handling injuries (community care) and nursing malpractice.
