Training in Scientific Evidence for Medical Negligence
Epistēmē Scientific Consulting provides training for solicitors, expert witnesses and other professionals who work with scientific evidence in medical negligence litigation.
Our training gives participants practical methods for testing the scientific reasoning behind a causation opinion: whether the research answers the question in the case, whether its findings apply to the claimant and where a conclusion goes beyond what the evidence can support.
Training Tailored to Your Team
We develop each session around your team’s experience, practice area and the questions you encounter in your work. Training can be delivered in-house or virtually, as a focused session or a more detailed workshop.
For Legal Teams
A solicitor may recognise that a causation opinion needs further explanation without knowing exactly where to probe. Our training helps legal teams identify the scientific questions to raise at different stages of a case, from an initial discussion with an expert to reviewing a report or considering opposing evidence.
For Expert Witnesses
Experts bring clinical knowledge to their field but the scientific literature can be complex, conflicting or difficult to apply to an individual claimant. Our training provides a structured way to examine the relevance and limitations of published research and to make the reasoning behind a causation opinion clear.
