How does everyday medical practice get interpreted in the courtroom?

In cases of child protection, do everyday decisions made in a resource-limited NHS stand up to cross-examination? Does the duty of care in hospital also extend to collecting evidence, and are the obligations of the doctor looking after a child different to the obligations of the expert commenting on them in retrospect? How does this affect the number of medical personnel willing to come forwards to give expert evidence?

A lecture by Jo Delahunty KC and Owen Arthurs recorded on 19th January at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:
