What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Welcome and Introductions by  Nicola Guy:

Welcome to Issue 14 of the Medico-Legal Magazine, produced by SpecialistInfo and publishing partner Iconic Media Solutions Ltd.

We'd like to pass on our gratitude and thanks to all of the hard-working NHS staff and medical professionals who are selflessly guiding us through the current Covid-19 pandemic. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you all.

This first issue of 2020 includes articles from Stephen Hooper, of Hempsons Solicitors, on the importance of expert witnesses knowing their limits when accepting an instruction to write a Medico-Legal report.


Also in this issue, healthcare law expert, Laurence Vick, Consultant Solicitor, comments on the reaction to the Independent Inquiry report into the Ian Paterson, breast surgeon case, that was published on 4 February 2020 and the reforms needed in private healthcare if we are to avoid similar scandals in the future. 


We are also pleased to include an article by Peter Rudd-Clarke, Legal Director and Emma Kislingbury, Associate Solicitor, from Reynolds Porter Chamberlain (RPC) LLP, looking at why clinicians and manufacturers must collaborate to mitigate Artificial Intelligence risks.


Once again, the magazine will be circulated to up to 40,000 people in the industry, including doctors, insurance companies, law firms and medico-legal agencies. It is published on the Medico-Legal Section of the Specialistinfo.com website, and printed copies can be ordered from Iconic.


Specialistinfo maintains a database of contact details for up to 90,000 UK consultants and GPs, including approximately 11,000 consultants and GPs who undertake medico-legal work. We also provide Medico-Legal courses for expert witnesses and promote the members of the Faculty of Expert Witnesses (the FEW).  


We are also taking early-bird bookings for our annual Medico-Legal Conference in London that has been postponed until 21 October 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
