The Mirror has a story of a doctor who pretended to be a specialist in trauma, orthopaedics and surgery to win work as an expert witness in court cases.

Titus Odedun, who worked at Southport and Ormskirk hospitals, falsely claimed to be a specialist in trauma and orthopaedic surgery in an online database of medical experts.

He forged his work history in order to win lucrative work as an expert witness in court cases.
