| Abstract: | In the early 1990s I received an invitation to join the UK Register of Expert Witnesses, a publication put together by lawyers for lawyers. I accepted and stipulated breast and cervical cancer and asbestos-related disease as the areas I would advise on in medico-legal litigation and that I was prepared to act on behalf of patients. I had breast and cervical neoplasia publications to back me up and working in Winchester had provided good experience of asbestos-related deaths. Many deaths of former workers in British Rail's workshops in Eastleigh and in the Portsmouth Naval Dockyard, where they had been exposed to asbestos, ended up with our Winchester Coroner and in our autopsy room.
