Dr Ken Darzy

I have been working as a Consultant Physician, Diabetologist and Endocrinologist since August 2006. I have had wide experience in general internal medicine with a particular interest and experience in complex diabetes and endocrine disorders including endocrine cancer.

I have been working in the NHS for 30 years. I have had extensive clinical research experience with numerous novel publications and reviews.

I have been heavily involved in undertaking medico-legal work in general internal medicine, diabetes and endocrinology since 2010. 

My wide clinical and research experience and deep familiarity with the NHS provide me with a clear insight into medico-legal issues that can arise from failure of complex care pathways and/or failure of individual health care providers. A lot of my medico-legal work relates to clinical negligence (50 reports per year) but I also do a lot of work on personal injury resulting in endocrine disorders or complicating pre-exiting diabetes or endocrine diseases (around 50 reports/year). I also produce expert reports for work tribunals and reports on life expectancy (100 reports per year). I produce more than 200 reports per year with a Claimant/Defendant/Joint instructions ratio of 45/45/10.

I endeavour to keep myself updated in this field. I have attended the Medico-Legal Expert Training Course in London in January 2011, the Clinical Negligence Course in London in November 2011, the Advanced Medico-legal Training Day in London in June 2015, and the Clinical Negligence Course in London in September 2021. I am registered in the medico-legal section at www.specialistinfo.com as well at Expert Witness (www.expertwitness.co.uk). I am a member of many Expert Panel Groups and Medical Reporting Agencies.
