HCPC Registered Prosthetist

David Hills commenced working in the field of prosthetics in 1975, initially as an engineer, progressing onto a four year clinical training course in Prosthetics and Orthotics and qualifying with a Higher Diploma in 1989 through the London School of Prosthetics (Roehampton) and the City of Westminster University.

David prepares regular medico-legal expert witness reports for both claimant and defendant personal injury lawyers.

His reports are Part 35 compliant and cover causation and recommendations with full justification and estimated costs for prosthetic care including replacement cycles to assist the Courts with calculating quantum costs in litigation cases involving amputation.

Areas that David can advise on include:

• Amputation following medical negligence
• Amputation following trauma
• Pre-amputation reports giving estimated costs where the possibility of amputation has been identified
• Paediatrics where estimates of prosthetic costs are required over a lifetime as a child grows into adulthood
• Opinion on other prosthetic reports and recommendations that may have been prepared

Reports can be prepared on a desktop basis where written and photographic evidence is supplied, following a video consultation or following a face to face examination.

He runs regular clinics in Harley Street, Hampshire and Devon but also sees clients at home where instructed. He undergoes regular Bond Solon training and has Courtroom experience.

David can act on behalf of either claimant or defendant or as a Single Joint Expert.
