Tom Scade

I am a retired doctor with a background in Internal Medicine, General Practice, Aviation Medicine and Occupational Medicine. As such I have had significant experience of human distress and conflict. This is what brought me to Mediation in retirement.  I have always realised that Mediation can help in cases of conflict, and set  about studying conflict in a Masters Degree, an LLM in Mediation and Conflict Resolution,  at Strathclyde University, where I was trained in mediation skills.

I now hold a Master of Laws degree with Distinction in Mediation and Conflict Resolution, and I am a Lead Mediator in the Strathclyde University Mediation Clinic, dealing mainly with Simple Procedure cases referred from Sheriff Courts. These can cover, consumer rights issues, disputes with tradespersons, building matters, business disputes, housing  issues and neighbourhood issues.  I have however also extensive experience of the modern work environment through my Occupational  Health work, and extensive experience of the NHS environment, which makes me suited to mediating in these areas.
