Preparing to Give Evidence
Practice factual recall and clear, accurate testimony, faithful to what you know.
01 / The Solution
Healthcare professionals may be asked to explain clinical decisions and records to a court, an inquest, or an inquiry. Questioning, time pressure, and uncertainty call for precision, composure, and the ability to separate what was observed from what was inferred.
Preparing to Give Evidence lets participants rehearse in short, repeatable sessions with conversational avatars playing a coroner, counsel, or other counterparts. A rubric assesses clarity, accuracy, reasoning, tone, structure, and empathy; sessions are repeated to improve delivery without changing the facts. The substance of the testimony is never shaped to secure an outcome: the aim is to communicate it with integrity.
Delivered on a desktop or in an immersive courtroom, in sessions of 10 to 15 minutes. Audience, jurisdiction, type of proceeding, witness role, and case records are defined with clinical and legal experts. Simulation is training; it does not replace legal advice on a particular case.
02 / How It Works
01
Reconstruct
Review the timeline, the available records, and the limits of your knowledge. Distinguish direct observation from interpretation, and what you remember from what the record shows.
02
Answer questions
Interact with avatars playing a coroner, counsel, or other counterparts. Practice clarity and composure under questioning, including the questions you would rather not be asked.
03
Review feedback
A rubric assesses clarity, accuracy, reasoning, tone, structure, and empathy. Repeat the session to improve delivery without changing the facts. Four things to observe: separation of fact from inference, clarity for non-medical audiences, structure and reasoning, tone and composure.
04
The Coroner’s Court
The documented case prepares healthcare professionals for a coroner’s inquest in England. With jurisdiction-specific legal design, the method adapts to civil and criminal cases and other death inquiries: fatal accident inquiries before a sheriff in Scotland, inquests in Victoria, Australia, procedures such as those in Wisconsin, USA.
