Benefits & Wellbeing

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Innovation

Quick Application Angles

• Emphasise any trauma-informed clinical experience and how you ensure assessments minimise re-traumatisation — the Chambers explicitly foregrounds trauma-informed, person-centred practice.
• If you have perinatal, obstetric negligence or maternal mental health experience, highlight concrete examples (cases, assessments, training) — senior experts at the Chambers specialise in obstetric/maternity-related claims.
• Demonstrate familiarity with medicolegal standards (CPR 35) and quality-assured report-writing; explain how you produce clear, evidence-based, balanced reports under time constraints.
• Reference multidisciplinary or academic work (publications, teaching, audits) where relevant — Professor Prasher’s academic profile and involvement in national audit work (MBRRACE) are priorities for the Chambers.
• Stress reliability and clear communication: the practice emphasises end-to-end administrative support and responsiveness to instructing solicitors, so provide examples of timely delivery and strong case management.
