Anita Jewitt, Head of Medical Negligence at Stewarts, was a guest on the latest episode of the AlteaTalks podcast series, sharing her perspective on claimants’ concerns before bringing a medical negligence claim and the importance of meaningful apologies by medical professionals if mistakes or errors in their care have occurred.
In this podcast, Anita also explains the role of specialist solicitors in assessing the validity of claims before they are brought; and how the medico-legal landscape is changing, and what this means for clinical practice.

How a medical negligence solicitor can help you
As Anita outlines in this podcast, it can be difficult for potential claimants to understand if they can pursue a claim and how to begin the claims process. As part of our Life Beyond Injury initiative, our Injury Group has published a series of frequently asked questions videos to help potential claimants get answers to the key questions they may have about the overall claim process.
In one of these videos, Medical Negligence partners Amy Heath and Katherine Fitter answer the question: ‘Bringing a medical negligence claim: what you need to know,’ which outlines the main stages of making an injury claim.
