Louisa is dual qualified in dentistry and law.
She has represented Interested Persons in inquests which have ranged from those investigating deaths in hospital to those investigating deaths caused by a tragic accident in the workplace.
Louisa practiced as a dental surgeon for over a decade, both within the NHS and privately. As well as treating patients, she assisted with the running of a busy NHS practice and helped staff to prepare for CQC inspections.
As a dental surgeon, Louisa was praised for her attention to detail and sensitivity when working with anxious patients. She is therefore well placed to work with clients who are understandably feeling anxious and emotionally distressed when facing the prospect of an inquest.
She carried out further training with the Royal College of Surgeons of England, London, and following additional training with a Harley Street dentist, developed a private practice involving cosmetic dentistry, invisible orthodontics and facial aesthetics. She also did some work for a nation-wide facial aesthetics company.
Louisa was a member of her Local Dental Committee, assisting dentists who were having difficulties, whether that be financial difficulties, regulatory concerns or dealing with Clinical Negligence claims, and also worked alongside 111 when they were setting up a system that could effectively triage patients to NHS practices.
Since commencing her legal training, Louisa has received numerous awards, including the Lord Denning scholarship from Lincoln’s Inn. She regularly provides lectures to dental surgeons on relevant legal matters as part of their Continuing Professional Development.
