Forensic Consultant (Pharmacology and Toxicology)
BSc Hons, CBiol, MSB, MEWI, MCSFS
I have prepared hundreds of reports on the effects of alcohol, illegal drugs and prescribed drugs in relation to driving offences, effects on demeanour and fitness to interview. In relation to date rape cases, I am able to comment on the effects of the commonly administered drugs and the length of time they remain detectable in the body.
I have acted as a single joint expert, preparing reports concerning medical negligence, accidents at work whilst intoxicated and considering whether medication would affect the ability to sign and understand a will. I have given evidence in all levels of court.
