Executive
Executive in the clinical negligence and personal injury team
My role
I assist on catastrophic, and high-value claims and conduct appropriate claims with supervision to ensure that clients receive a high quality and seamless service. I have assisted clients suffering traumatic brain injuries, missed fractures, sepsis deaths and I have successfully secured compensation for claimants with poorly managed cancer.
My experience
Coming from an NHS background and possessing four years’ experience in medical laboratories and two years’ experience in clinical negligence claims management at a large NHS Trust, before joining Anthony Collins Solicitors in 2014. I bring an understanding of NHS hospital’s internal procedures and practical medical knowledge which allows me to target investigations and break through the opaque administrative systems in the NHS. In 2018 I qualified as a chartered legal executive and have broad experience supporting clients, ranging from modest to multi-million-pound claims.
My specialisms
- Missed or delayed cancer diagnosis
- Orthopaedic injuries
- Missed or delayed sepsis diagnosis
- Retained products following surgery
