Career

Julianne is a Partner in the Medical Negligence team, based in Sheffield, where she leads a team of lawyers.

She has specialised in medical negligence for over 15 years and she handles a variety of claims.  She has particular interest and expertise in:

  • Birth injury claims, including cerebral palsy, neonatal deaths and stillbirth
  • Amputation claims
  • Spinal injury claims
  • Cauda Equina claims
  • Cancer claims
  • Fatal claims including inquests, surgical claims and cosmetic surgery claims.

Julianne has expertise in the assessment of maximum severity claims and is also experienced in the preparation of complex schedules of loss and damage, which value the level of compensation for patients who have been injured as a result of negligent medical treatment.

Prior to qualifying as a solicitor, she was a Senior Operating Department Practitioner in the NHS where she gained extensive medical and surgical experience. This has proved to be invaluable in her day to day work as a medical negligence solicitor.

 

I regularly lecture to other lawyers and healthcare professionals in respect of medical negligence and patient safety, including for AvMA, SIA and the Expert Witness Institute.
