  • Fabulous gripping

    I could not stop listening . Incredibly well researched and presented.

    Learnt a lot about forensic paediatrics versus mainstream medicine in hospitals. There should be independence of forensic teams so they don’t operate in the hospitals ie outside the service itself.
