Join Maggie Sargent & Associates for a specialist, barrister-led medico-legal conference exploring catastrophic child injury evidence.

About this event

Securing the Future: Evidence in Catastrophic Child Injury and its Lifelong Impact is a barrister-led, interactive medico-legal conference exploring the evidence needed to understand catastrophic child injury, from the first legal questions through to whole-life care, treatment, rehabilitation, education, continuum of care and quality of life.

Built around a realistic case scenario informed by complex litigation of legal and clinical significance, the day will help delegates understand how a catastrophic injury can shape every stage of a child’s life, including future care, life expectancy, independence, participation, family support and long-term outcomes.

The conference brings together barristers, solicitors, clinical experts, expert witnesses, case managers and care professionals to examine how robust evidence is built, tested and applied in complex child injury litigation.

What the day will explore

The programme will follow the journey of a catastrophic child injury claim, considering:

Legal foundations and expert evidence

Psychology, behaviour and early adulthood

Orthopaedic surgery and physical development

Physiotherapy, movement and participation

Orthotics and long-term support

Care, case management and community life

Holidays, leisure and respiratory challenges

Hydrotherapy and therapeutic benefit

Education support and transition

Dietetics, nutrition and life expectancy

Who should attend?

This conference is designed for legal, clinical, care and rehabilitation professionals working in catastrophic injury, personal injury, clinical negligence, complex care and medico-legal evidence.

It will be particularly relevant for solicitors, barristers, litigation teams, Court of Protection teams, clinicians, expert witnesses, case managers, care providers, therapists and allied health professionals.

Delegates will gain practical insight into how evidence is developed, tested and applied in catastrophic child injury claims, from early legal issues through to whole-life care, rehabilitation, education, nutrition, life expectancy, family support and quality of life.

The role different expert disciplines play in complex claims

The evidence needed to support decisions around future care and long-term needs

The impact of catastrophic injury across childhood, adolescence, adulthood and later life
