In this special episode we are joined by David Green, a specialist employment and personal illness barrister from 12 King’s Bench Walk Chambers to discuss personal illness and occupational disease.
Questions asked include:
What is a barrister? Do they all wear wigs and shout “Objection!” all the time?
How does a claim go from injury to court?
What happens during a court hearing?
How is the value of a claim calculated?
David introduces us to the medicolegal world, looking at personal illness, court proceedings and the role of medical experts. Along the way we discuss how to become a barrister, how Inns of Court are like Houses of Hogwarts and how the gavel has never been used in courts in England or Wales.

Status epilepticus is the most common paediatric neurological emergency in the UK and the second most common reason for unplanned PICU admission in the UK.
Dr Colin Gilhooley defines status epilepticus before discussing the EcLiPSE trial:
Levetiracetam versus phenytoin for second-line treatment of paediatric convulsive status epilepticus (EcLiPSE): a multicentre, open-label, randomised trial
This was a UK wide trial across 30 Emergency Departments (including our own in Nottingham) comparing Phenytoin as the standard 2nd line treatment to Levetiracetam as an alternative with a smaller side effect profile. The result was (spoilers): NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE.
Colin take us through the potential consequences of this, how this might change practice as well as what it was like to be involved in the trial and what deferred consent might mean in the future.
