    I work as a drug information pharmacist for a small group of pharmacies based in Ireland.I also have a consultancy practice where I write reports on the use of drugs and toxicology for lawyers.This work is very interesting as I have written reports on suicides,driving under the influence,attempted murder and many others.I love getting stuck in to the evidence and producing a coherent report for the court.As an expert witness you must always remember that you are a servant of the court and justice at all times,regardless of who instructs you.
