Examination Schools, University Oxford

Inspire MediLaw’s annual conference brings together medical and legal professionals from across the UK to get the latest medico-legal updates and insights on a range of topics, from report writing to causation.

This conference offers exceptional value for money given the very high-calibre of speakers.

Unlike many medico-legal conferences, Inspire MediLaw’s event is designed solely for medical professionals.

Chaired by Simon Readhead KC, Barrister, Deka Chambers and President of the Medico-Legal Society

This year’s conference will be chaired by Simon Readhead KC.

Alongside Simon, we’ll also be welcoming a host of other high-profile speakers, who will cover:

  • the latest medico-legal updates
  • top tips for report writing
  • how to survive an Inquest
  • addressing the legal issues: material contribution
  • the business of running a successful medico-legal practice.

Our legal speakers are all ranked highly in the Legal 500. We’ll also be welcoming experienced medical experts from a cross section of specialities who will share their own experiences of medico-legal practice.

Network with like-minded clinicians

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to network with others working in the medico-legal profession and hear the lived experiences of legal and medical professionals.

The event is suitable for established medical expert witnesses and newcomers to the role. It is also suitable for medical professionals who have specific interests in medico-legal issues

Convenzis Healthcare Event testimonials

What our clients say about us

Working with Convenzis is a stress-free and a rewarding experience, with fantastic engagement from a highly targeted and relevant audience

Zoom

I worked with Convenzis, primarily Dan, for the first time this year, putting together a bespoke online event for IBM. He has always been so responsive and accommodating. The team always remained professional and helpful – despite the many demands from our side! They were very keen for us to maximise on the investment and revisit those attendees who had not committed to follow ups.
It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Convenzis and I know there will be more opportunities next year. Looking forward to it!

IBM

In view of the recent NHS Oncology Conference organised by CONVENZIS which was sponsored by Pascoe Healthcare Ltd, CONVENZIS exhibited professionalism through credible organisation, invitation of delegates/respectable Speakers and general conduct of the entire conference. This has also shown that CONVENZIS is a great partner in business which is fundamental to ROI of partnering Companies even in the wake of the pandemic.

Pascoe Healthcare

“We’ve worked with the Convenzis team for several years and their events are a regular occurrence for us. Not only is the content always extremely topical, but the speakers are always excellent and the support from the team ahead of and during the events is exceptional. The team are incredibly receptive to feedback and always goes above and beyond – a real pleasure to work with!”

eConsult

“It has been a pleasure to work with Matt and Dan for the past few events. Everything has always run smoothly and we’ve always managed to gather a large number of interested parties due to the events they have hosted.

They are also very helpful and timely in their responses, which has made working with them very easy “
