About this section
The purpose of the Clinical Forensic & Legal Medicine Section is to advance the knowledge and practice of clinical forensic and legal medicine.
Dr Neville Davis MBE, first President of the Clinical Forensic & Legal Medicine Section
Dr Neville Davis died at home on Wednesday 5 October 2022.
Neville was a leader in the development of clinical forensic and legal medicine in the UK, in the 20th and 21st centuries.
He trained, supported and mentored many aspiring forensic physicians and took delight in seeing their development and success: the best of teachers.
Neville was a founding member and the first President of the RSM Clinical Forensic & Legal Medicine Section, which this year celebrates its 35th anniversary.
The Section is marking this milestone with an online meeting on Saturday 12 November at which Neville had planned to be present. Although his final illness meant he could not attend in person, he had hoped to join online. Sadly, this was not to be, but he will be with us in spirit.
