Dr. Jeremy Platt

My seniority and experience empowers me to be a credible expert witness in Clinical Negligence cases that are relevant to General Practice.

I started supplying these reports in 2014.

In the last twelve months I have provided nineteen Court compliant reports and a further forty-eight screening reports.

I have been involved in the ongoing management of some forty further cases in the last year that started previously, including attendances at case conferences and meetings with experts.

I have given an opinion on around one hundred allegations of poor professional conduct for the General Medical Council.

I have attended five meetings with experts instructed by the other party and prepared a statement on four occasions.
My Claimant:Defendant ratio of preparing reports is 60:40

I have attended Court to give evidence on one occasion in a litigation case and given evidence at a Coroner’s court on one occasion.
