Medico-legal Support

Rajendra (‘Raj’) Chaudhary qualified as a doctor from New Delhi and worked as a General & Urological Surgeon in the NHS. His 13-year stint in the NHS (from trainee to locum Consultant) gave him an in-depth knowledge of the workings of the medical establishment and personal & professional dilemmas that doctors face.

Raj successfully graduated in law (Graduate Diploma in Law) and went on to obtain a barrister’s qualification (Dip Bar) in 2007. Subsequently, Raj formed the niche medicolegal practice ‘Medic-Law’ in Manchester, and up to now, has been supporting doctors in an array of legal cases from employment tribunals, General Medical Council to the High Court.

Raj is passionate about doctors’ well-being and supports doctors with all aspects of professional practice. A substantial amount of his work consists of representing doctors who are being investigated by the General Medical Council and he is all to familar with the stress that medics go through while being subjected to investigations that threaten their professional career and reputation.

Raj never hesitates in thinking ‘out of the box’ to understand a client’s position and does not just restrict himself to conventional wisdom. He is known for standing up for his clients and fighting fearlessly and tenaciously whenever necessary.

The proposed mentoring/remediation service will consist of approximately 3 to 5 meetings, during which customized self-directed tasks will be provided, culminating in a final report.

The service will encompass the following elements:

I have designed this service, drawing upon my extensive experience in clinical governance as both an appraiser and a Responsible Officer. The service aims to assist clients in reflecting on the specific behaviour under consideration, enabling them to identify and implement appropriate measures to avoid any recurrence of misconduct or probity issues in the future.
