"My experience as an expert witness in clinical negligencecases, MPTS Panel chairman, medical adviser to a Public Inquiry andas a sometimes commissioned independent reporter on adverseincidents tells me that these are excellent books, valuable for allclinicians, not just those in high-risk specialties; and all NHSmanagers involved in maintaining or improving the quality of care.The case vignettes, alone, are useful source material for teachingmedical trainees on what can go wrong and how to deal with it whenit does."
