Anna has extensive experience of advising on the defence of complex claims brought against NHS Trusts and individuals. She has successfully defended claims at trial.

She understands the issues facing her clients and those individuals involved in claims.

Relevant experience includes:

• The successful defence at trial of a spinal injury claim against Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The claim involved a number of the Trust's Consultant Neurosurgeons and was of importance not only to them individually on a reputational basis but trust wide as there were allegations over resourcing. Her role included significant support of the witnesses throughout the claim and at trial and an understanding of the importance to them and the Trust of defending the claim.
• Acting for the NHS in a complex birth injury case that was resolved for more than £10 million.
• Managing a number of claims brought against GPs, predominantly relating to alleged delays in diagnosing cancer.
