I provide well-constructed, evidence-based, expert reports for clinical negligence and personal injury claims across the range of general elective and emergency neurosurgical practice. I have particular expertise in head injuries, cauda equina syndrome and surgical neuro-oncology. Areas of medico-legal expertise: • Adult elective and emergency neurosurgery • Head injury • Brain tumour diagnosis and management • Cauda equina syndrome

Mr Phillips' clinical interests are in endoscopic skull base surgery, cranial neurosurgery, particularly pituitary surgery, trigeminal neuralgia, subarachnoid haemorrhage and radiosurgery. He has also contributed to national policy in radiosurgery.
