Remote hearings throw up some concerns for this consultant when asked to give evidence. Dr Kathryn Leask responds with some useful advice

Dilemma 1

I’m edgy about remote inquest

Q I am a private psychiatrist and have been asked to attend an inquest remotely, using video. I have given evidence at an inquest before, in person, and have been carrying out video consultations with my patients, but I feel a bit uneasy about giving evidence to a court by this route.

Do you have any advice you could give me?
