Provides fair and unbiased evidence in clinical negligence cases, and has received instructions from solicitors in various parts of the world.

Had formal training in Medico-Legal Report Writing and in Court Room Skills.  

Member of the Expert Witness Institute (MEWI) and fully committed to its Code of Practice.

Leroy says: ‘The study of Law has substantially influenced my medical practice as I am continually attuned to the principles of risk management, consent, safe practice and evidence-supported practice. Risk management and clinical audit are intertwined with medico-legal issues such as autonomy, confidentiality and litigation, and I have written articles on some of these’.
