I, Dr Muhammad Ather am a MedCo Accredited expert. I qualified in 1990 and worked in surgical specialties until 2005. I worked as Orthopaedic Surgeon for 8 years, from 1997 to 2005, before moving to General Practice. While working as Orthopaedic Surgeon I was involved in the regular management of all adult musculoskeletal conditions, including trauma. I also managed children’s orthopaedics.  

I have been an expert witness since 2003 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 mandatory training. My consulting venues are private and suitable for the medico-legal consultations. Due to my previous Orthopaedic experience my consultation and examination techniques are quite thorough and medical reports are produced to high standards.
