Not only has Dr. William Stuart Hislop BDS MBChB FRCSEd FDSRCSEd FDSRCPS built-up an impressive reputation over the past 20 years working as a Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at Crosshouse Hospital, Kilmarnock, but he is also fast becoming acknowledged as a highly experienced, reliable Expert Witness; carrying out around thirty reports per year for both defence and prosecution, as well as producing reports for injury and negligence cases.

H

aving gained a Medical Degree from Bristol University in 1987 and a Dental Degree from Dundee University in 1978, Dr. Hislop is able to combine his extensive academic training with the practical experience he has gained working at the cutting-edge of surgery in Scotland. Specialising in head and neck ablative and reconstructive surgery for malignancy, salivary gland surgery, together with facial aesthetic and cancer surgery, Dr. Hislop is highly experienced in dealing with facial trauma; having carried out over 400 microvasular cases in his career.

Case Study: "I was asked to see a lady who had a weak lower lip following a facelift. This can happen and she was warned about it. The surgeon them offered her a muscle transposition operation to try and get function into her lip. The operation did not go well and she was left with aweak tongue and slurred speech.

She wished to make a claim on the grounds of lack of consent when in fact the complication was so rare it would have not been reasonable to mention it. However the injury should not have happened and there was a failure in the duty of care whilst carrying out the procedure.

Dr. Hislop added: "Within the west of Scotland I also carry out surgical dermatology for skin cancer and deal The expert intervention meant that the case was submitted with facial trauma, as well as dental implants and dento under the correct terms and was settled without a court alveolar surgery. I also have experience in orthognathic and case." tempopro mandibular joint surgery."

A Member of the British Medical Association; British Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons and the British Association of Head & Neck Oncologists, Dr. Hislop has undertaken the position of Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow for more than two decades.

Having published over 25 publications in peer reviewed journals throughout his career, Dr. Hislop would like to further develop the Medico-Legal side of his practice and would be pleased to discuss your individual requirements for an Expert Witness.

In a recent interview Dr Hislop outlined what it takes, in his opinion, to provide the very best service as an Expert Witness: "When being called upon to act as an Expert Witness there is no substitute for experience and obtaining extra qualifications. Experience allows work place gathering of information over a career lifetime that informs decision making. This can be used in the clinic operating room or courtroom. Extra qualifications show that reading and gathering of knowledge in the specialist area has been undertaken. This means that all clinical; and legal decisions are underpinned by a thorough knowledge of the specialist area.

It's vital to instruct an Expert Witness at the beginning of an investigation/legal case, as this allows the expert to be available for advice from the start. There are numerous cases that are unlikely to be successful and having the expertise initially may save clients time and money.

I currently carry out approximately twenty MedicoLegal Reports per year for both defence and prosecution, attending court once a year on average. It is important when being instructed that you do not forget that you act for the court and giving a balanced report reduces the need for court attendance. I work for the prosecution and defence equally.

Being involved before the case has been submitted to the courts has proved to be very helpful. One of the common problems I see is the uncertainty as to whether the matter is a failure in the duty of care by lack of consent or by negligence."
