prosecution, or those who are not able to produce exculpatory evidence, such as DNA.
Adam Ross is a Consultant Ophthalmologist with a sub-specialty interest in cataract
surgery, including micro-incision and complex cataract surgery, medical retina and
uveitis. He has over 15 years experience in medicine, and was previously the lead for
the medical retinal service at the Bristol Eye Hospital, as well as being exceptionally
active in clinical research, as the principal and chief investigator on a variety of trials. He
carried out his training in Bristol and Cheltenham, as well as visiting fellowships in New
York and Washington. He further completed various post-graduate qualifications.
The pending Strasbourg decision in the Hallam and
Nealon cases will place the scheme back in the spotlight and together with the inquiries into the failings of
the Malkinson case, there will no doubt be further
developments in this area.
Mr Ross is a fellow of the higher education academy, and continues to be actively
involved in teaching of ophthalmologists in addition to allied health professionals.
He has an extensive background in teaching and was the Ophthalmology
Postgraduate Training Director and Head of School for Ophthalmology in the Severn
Deanery, as well as an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Bristol.
His expertise lies in cataract surgery, complex cataracts, premium multifocal and toric
intraocular lenses, as well as retinal disease. Mr Ross is also involved in research
