I, Dr Abid Hamid am a Principal General Practitioner working at Nye Bevan House, Rochdale since 2006. I obtained my MBBS qualification in 1988 from University of Punjab, Lahore Pakistan. Before becoming a GP, I was working in different specialities of orthopaedic and trauma in England. I have achieved my FRCS from Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians, Glasgow in 1996. I have also obtained my MSc in Trauma from University of Birmingham in 2000. 

I have been an expert witness since 2001 and have wide experience of preparing medico-legal reports for soft tissue and non soft tissue injury claims.  I keep myself up to date with the advances in General Practice as well as the changes implemented by MedCo and I am up to date with my CME requirements.

I am up to date with Medico-Legal courses and required training. My consulting venues are private and suitable for the medico-legal consultations. I follow the COVID-19 safety guidelines when seeing the clients in face-to-face clinics. My consultation and examination techniques are quite thorough and medical reports are produced to high standards.
