Richard Pyper MBBChir FRCS(Ed) FRCOG
Consultant Gynaecologist and Urogynaecologist
A career obstetrician and gynaecologist from the start, Richard sought a broad experience of general surgery as a basis for specialist training in gynaecological surgery.
He was appointed as a Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology to Western Sussex Hospitals in 1992. He was Clinical Director for 6 years until 1998, Chairman of the Labour Standing Committee from 1999 to 2003 and Clinical Tutor for the RCOG from 2004 to 2012.
Richard expanded into the medico-legal sector where he now runs a busy practice. He has been an Expert Witness since 1994 and has prepared more than 1100 reports on a wide variety of subjects for both claimants and defendants.
He has a special interest in Urogynaecology and was instructed as a Single Joint Expert in the Liverpool Urogynaecology litigation from 2011-2014, writing 90 reports on Breach, Causation, Condition and Prognosis after consultations with each patient.
His expert witness work now concentrates on general gynaecology and urogynaecology including vaginal mesh cases.
Consultations with clients for Condition and Prognosis reports take place virtually or at St. Richard’s Hospital in Chichester. He undertakes 30 medicolegal conferences per year with solicitors and barristers and has attended court on 12 occasions.
Richard retired from clinical work in January 2023 but continues Expert witness work.
