Personal Injury Lawyer

Sample Course

Training Need

The legal firm found that staff who were dealing with terminology outside of their profession found it to be a frustrating experience at the best of times, and at worst for new staff, it had the potential to lead to mistakes and misunderstanding with clients. The legal firm found that this was most relevant to personal injury and clinical negligence practitioners, as well as legal secretaries, all of whom handled medical claims and reports.

 Course Objectives

 The course was designed to give non-medically trained personal injury lawyers a working knowledge of common medical terms, phrases and abbreviations. Delegates were given the training to dissect new and unfamiliar terms in order to develop their understanding, as well as a broad appreciation of associated medical matters to look out for. The course enabled the lawyer to:

• Identify root word terminology relating to: Ear, Nose and Throat, Respiratory system, Nervous system, Reproductive System, Orthopaedics, Cardiology & Radiology

• Recognise related medical prefixes and suffixes,

• Recognise medical abbreviations pertaining to the above subjects,
