| Gaeline Phipps | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gaeline is a barrister with Lambton Chambers, and former partner of Rainey Collins Solicitors (who ran the helpline for, and were agents of, the Medical Defence Union). After a general litigation background including insurance law, criminal law and family law, she specialised in professional law. She has over 25 years experience in advising and acting for doctors and other health professionals, both on a private basis and on instructions from their indemnifier.
Gaeline is regularly invited to speak at medico-legal functions and conferences. She writes a regular monthly column for the “NZ Doctor” magazine and has contributed to other medico-legal publications. She has a “prevention is better than cure” approach, and shares the learning gained from cases so that doctors can do whatever is possible to avoid the medico-legal side of practice. |
