Author of TRANSCULTURAL MEDICINE - Dealing with Patients from different Cultures, Religions and Ethnicities. 3rd Edition expected 2007.

This book covers an overview of all cultures, religions or non-religious persuasions and ethnicities, in relation to medical needs, legal positions, political dimensions and economic considerations. In a clear, concise, credible, cool, compelling and compassionate way, the author outlines the varying needs and also gives practical tips in fairly managing the patients or clients from different backgrounds. This objectively written book is for doctors, nurses, other health professionals, solicitors, managers and all those who work in multicultural areas.

Expert Witness in TRANSCULTURAL MEDICINE and in CULTURAL, RELIGIOUS AND ETHNIC ISSUES IN LITIGATION.

As a specialist in Cultures, Religions and Ethnicities, I have assisted, since 1992, in cases of medical negligence, discrimination in employments, personal injuries, accidents, murder inquiries by police, family or marital disputes, child abuse, sexual abuse, immigration, asylum and other litigation cases.

I write reports, give advice and give evidence in tribunals or courts. I am a Founder Member of the Society of Expert Witnesses, since 1996. I am listed in The Law Society Directory of Expert Witnesses, UK Register of Expert Witnesses, since 1999 and in Online Directory by Expert Search Ltd, since 2004.

If a solicitor or police or anyone else is seeking advice, I should like to help.
