This month on the Expert Matters Podcast, we preview the EWI  Annual Conference which will be held virtually on 19 June 2026. We look at some of the themes from expert witness conferences in 2025, including talking to Holly King about 'How to reduce the re-traumatisation of claimants in medico-legal litigation claims', consider the programme for our 2026 conference, and introduce a new segment on the podcast called 'A case that changed me'. As always, you can also listen to our 'What's going on at EWI' and 'Newsreel' segments to keep up-to-date on the latest developments in the world of expert witnesses and expert evidence.
