some clinicians in regional hospitals lacked exposure to rare vascular conditions, every doctor should recognise when a case demands specialist referral. Recognising this, I eventually stepped away from personal injury work to focus more meaningfully on academic and medico-legal roles. To provide truly specialist insight across disciplines, I cofounded Cardiovascular Advisors Ltd with Richard Williams Lees, assembling a trusted team covering cardiology, stroke medicine, vascular surgery, haematology, rehabilitation, and more. Its success led to the launch of McCollum Consultants Ltd—a broader medico-legal advisory service that now spans over half a dozen medical specialties, from trauma and orthopaedics to oncology and neonatal care. I’m proud of the calibre of experts we’ve attracted and the consistent praise we’ve received from solicitors, barristers, and the courts alike. Ensuring Accuracy and Reliability in Expert Testimony At McCollum Consultants, we translate our founding ethos of independence, precision, and clarity into structured practice. We offer complimentary guidance to help instructing parties identify the most appropriate expert for their case, ensuring that specialist insight is both accurate and relevant. Early screening allows us to assess case viability swiftly and cost-effectively, helping clients make informed decisions from the outset. All our consultants undergo rigorous medico-legal training and “Guidelines intended as best practice are now treated as minimum standards.”
