The medical negligence seminar, taking place in Dublin this December, will address topics including period payment orders versus lump sum payments, and the effects on patients; birth injury litigation from the perspective of obstetricians; recent cases that have come before the courts; and issues and trends in medical negligence in Ireland.

Speakers at the seminar will include barrister Alan Keating; Professor Chris Fitzpatrick, former master of the Coombe Women & Infants University Hospital; Professor Declan O’Rourke, paediatric neurologist at Temple Street Children’s University Hospital; and Sabrina O’Carroll, forensic and legal nursing consultant.

All proceeds from the event will go to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, which offers support, advocacy and an in-home nursing service to help children and their families under the age of five years who have or develop a significant neurodevelopmental delay involving severe learning difficulties.
