--FC.jpg)
DR Geoffrey Phillips FRCP, of
Liverpool, has written The Geriatrician in Court, a guide book for Physicians
interested in embarking upon medico legal work.
Courts call upon expert witnesses from the medical field often, but there are
few, if any books written by qualified geriatricians in this context. In 2016
Doctor Geoffrey Phillips FRCP was selected by the prestigious Lawyer Monthly
magazine for an expert witness award in recognition of his specialist knowledge
and experience. Offering his years of experience and many real life examples
from his past cases, he has written a comprehensive guide to those who are
thinking about embarking on a career to become an independent medical
consultant, acting as an expert witness in court. Each aspect of the process is
explained thoroughly in an understandable and clear way, covering all the
typical concepts and problems encountered. Whether you're merely interested in
medico legal work or wondering if becoming a court expert witness is for you,
you will find this book an invaluable source of advice, encouragement, and
practical know how.
Geoff Phillips is a retired Liverpool Teaching Hospital Consultant Geriatrician
who for some 25 years was in increasing demand as a Medico legal Expert.
Throughout his career in medicine (and before) he observed life, and collected
an archive of stories reflecting pathos, humour, and the oddities of life
together with interesting facts. He used some of them to enhance student and
postgraduate teaching on his ward rounds and also when giving "after dinner
speeches." The book is drawn from that archive and adapted for the general
audience.

3,000+ children in
Manchester from disadvantaged backgrounds will benefit from Liberal
Democrats plans MORE than
3,000, 3 to 4 year olds in Manchester will benefit from Liberal Democrat plans
to triple funding for the early years pupil premium, with gives extra cash
to nurseries, preschools and school receptions when they take on children
from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The cash would triple the funding to ₤1,000 per pupil per year, up from
₤302 in 2015 to 2016.
This will increase the allocation for local authorities in the Manchester
from ₤888,000 to nearly than ₤2.7m and will pay for every disadvantaged
child who benefits to receive 570 hours of state funded early education.
It forms part of a series of policies the Liberal Democrats are announcing
ahead of launching their manifesto, with a focus on giving children and
young people a brighter future.
These include:- ► Giving 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote in elections and referendums
across the UK. ► Helping people buy
their 1st home for the same cost as renting, with a new model of 'Rent
to Own' homes. ► Restoring housing
benefit for young people. ► Creating
a discounted bus pass for 16 to 21 year olds, giving a 66% discount.
► Investing almost ₤7bn in our schools and colleges.
► Doubling the number of businesses that take apprenticeships.
► Tripling the early years pupil premium.
► Extending free school meals to all primary school students.
Former Liberal Democrat MP and Manchester Withington candidate, John Leech,
said:- "Children and young people are at the heart of our progress. We
will give them a brighter future, by investing in those from more deprived
backgrounds to give them the best possible chance in life.
This forms part of our credible and robust plan to build a fairer country
and ensure not a single child or young person is left behind. Only the
Liberal Democrats will provide a strong opposition to this Conservative
government and stand up against cuts to local schools, Hospitals and
regional funding.
Jeremy Corbyn's Labour has let young people in Manchester down by voting
with Theresa May and UKIP on Brexit. The Liberal Democrats will stand up to
Theresa May and give the people the final say on Brexit, with the choice to
remain in Europe if they don't like the deal on offer." |
