Despite reassurance from Lucinda’s boss, Dr. Leo Harris (James Purefoy), that absolutely nothing suspicious has happened, Edith’s distraught father, Sir Anthony Owusu (who is portrayed by Brian Bovell), requests an investigation into Lucinda’s conduct on the fateful night.

Dr. Norma Callahan, portrayed by Helen Behan, and Dr. George Adjei, performed by Jordan Kouamé, who was formerly Lucinda’s coworker, are in charge of the subsequent medical investigation.

While Norma is wary of Lucinda’s actions and decisions leading up to Edith’s passing, George views the situation as an “unavoidable tragedy.” Tom, portrayed by Lorne MacFadyen, and Lucinda’s marriage begin to fall apart as the investigation’s pressure mounts.

Who are among the Malpractice cast?

Niamh Algar, the star of Raised by Wolves and Deceit, leads the ensemble as the battle-hardened doctor Lucinda Edwards, who sees herself at the center of an inquiry after an awful shift finishes with Edith Owusu overdosing on opioids.
