Mr I K Jalili FRCS, DO, FRCophth
 

  
 
 I am a fully accredited consultant ophthalmic surgeon on the GMC Specialists Register. I have thirty years experience in the provision of medico-legal reports spanning my career. As an expert witness, I cover both personal injuries and medical negligence.

My training in ophthalmology was preceded by four year training in non-ophthalmic surgical rotations which included accident and emergency, orthopaedics, general, cardio-thoracic, neuro and plastic surgery; all at teaching hospitals. This has enabled me to offer a multi-disciplinary approach and expertise to my clinical judgement and medico-legal work including medical negligence.

My ophthalmic training was in leading teaching hospitals in Cardiff, Sheffield and London teaching hospitals. It also included part-time fellowships in diabetic retinopathy (at the Retinal Diagnostic Unit) and glaucoma at the Glaucoma Unit at Moorfields Eye Hospital in addition to a three-month full-time course in neurology and neuro-ophthalmology at the National Hospital for Neurology, Queen Square.

My experience in ocular trauma and knowledge of a wide range of rare pathologies were greatly enhanced by working abroad at the Eye Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and the St John’s Ophthalmic Hospital, Jerusalem. In the latter I also set up a prevention programme for childhood blindness.

Following a period of research preparing for an MD, I completed 6 months training at the Professorial Unit of Moorfields Eye Hospital which focused on cataract and anterior segment and included training at the Cornea and Oncology Clinics

My practice as an ophthalmic surgeon in anterior segment surgery focused on cataract and with special clinics in paediatric ophthalmology, diabetic eye disease and glaucoma. I also pioneered a community based screening programmes for diabetic retinopathy in North Cheshire.

In terms of academic and managerial responsibilities, I held the position of departmental tutor for the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and an Audit Lead. I was also responsible for preparing a regional audit on the Cataract Treatment Centre in North Wales funded by the Welsh Office.

In addition to my clinical work, I continue my involvement in ophthalmic research. I have discovered and published a wide range of previously unrecognised new conditions among them the internationally recognised ‘Jalili Syndrome’. The causative gene was found this year. On the latter, I am working in affiliation with the Ophthalmology Molecular Genetics Unit of Leeds University at St James’s Teaching Hospital which is undertaking a specially funded research programme on bio-mineralisation based on the Jalili syndrome. My work has also helped to establish new inroads in medico-legal, forensic medicine and paternity cases in the findings that members of inbred communities share identical patterns making DNA fingerprinting less reliable as a test. More detailed information on my experience is available on the website www.jalili.co.uk  including the above book.

In addition to above I am involved in advising, as an elected local government councillor, on hospital development, health standards and scrutiny.
