Miss Julie Brackenbury

As a specialist in non-surgical aesthetic procedures, I offer expert witness services tailored to assist legal professionals with cases involving aesthetic treatments. My expertise covers a wide range of non-surgical interventions, including injectables (e.g., Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers), chemical peels, laser treatments, and other minimally invasive options. I have also completed reports on the administration of hyaluronic acid to the breast and genitalia .

I provide a clear, unbiased evaluation of each case, informed by in-depth knowledge of medical protocols and patient safety. My assessment process includes a thorough review of treatment records, consultation notes, and post-treatment documentation. This methodical approach ensures that I deliver a comprehensive analysis of the care provided, measuring it against recognised industry standards and best practices.

Given the rapid advancements in non-surgical aesthetics, I remain updated on current regulations, guidelines and literature, allowing me to assess whether the care in question adhered to accepted standards. My insights help legal professionals understand complex treatment details, including technique, patient selection, and potential complications.

Clear communication is central to my service. I prepare detailed, well-structured reports and provide straightforward explanations suitable for legal professionals, judges, and juries. Should testimony be required, I present my findings in a way that clarifies technical medical information for those without a clinical background.

As an independent expert, I am committed to delivering impartial, evidence-based opinions that support fair and accurate case resolutions. My role is to aid in establishing the facts and ensuring that standards of care are properly understood and upheld. I have undertaken specialist Expert Witness training. My report ratio is 80:20 Claimant: Defendant.

I have previous held the role of Clinical Negligence Co-ordinator at Reynolds Porter Chamberlain Law Firm - Health Law Department - NHSLA (National Health Litigation Authority), London. I am currently an intern for the MSc Specialist Practice of Clinical Aesthetics Non-Surgical Intervention in association with the City of London Dental School/The Institute of Medicine.

Additionally. I am a well-published researcher with a substantial portfolio of work that has contributed significantly to the field. Mypublications cover a wide array of topics, reflecting a deep commitment to advancing knowledge and understanding and can be viewed at: Julie BRACKENBURY | Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner | Adult Nursing | Aesthetic Medicine | Research profile
