Women in Clinical Negligence Roundtable

Building on these conversations from Phase One, Phase Two brought together experts from across the field for a roundtable discussion.

This dynamic exchange tackled the systemic challenges women face—not just in clinical negligence, but across the wider health sector.

Video and articles from this event can be found below.

 
 

Roundtable agenda

  • Are clinical negligence practitioners seeing signs of any improvement in women’s healthcare and outcomes?
  • Has there been a substantive change in how NHS Resolution responds to claims and is it making a difference to their cost and duration?
  • Have reforms proposed by the previous government had any impact on women’s health and maternity care and what could this government do to improve things?
  • What are the challenges for funding cases and what is the prognosis for costs?
  • While more women lawyers work in clinical negligence it seems those acting as medical experts are disproportionately male. Does this make a difference?
