Expert Witness Services /
Medico-Legal Reports
We are experienced in providing expert evidence in
Mental Health Review Tribunals, Criminal and Civil proceedings. Dr Jon
Boakes is listed in the British Psychological Society's directory of
Expert Witnesses (www.bps.org.uk).
We aim to provide an assessment appointment within 14 days of
instruction and provide a completed psychology report within a further
14 days. We provide expert evidence on a range of psychological
issues. Personal Injury & Clinical Negligence
We provide psychological assessment of individuals who have
experienced: being a victim of crime; occupational injury; medical
accidents; road traffic and other transport accidents.
Accidents do not always result in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or
trauma. Events involving even minor physical injuries may result in
significant psychological harm. A psychological report can be helpful
in assessing:
-
Phobias and specific
anxieties (e.g. travel anxiety following a road traffic accident)
-
Depression and changes in
mood
-
The psychological effects of
chronic pain
-
The effects of disfigurement
or injury
-
Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder
-
Effects of substance misuse
-
Social, psychological and
emotional losses
In addition to psychology assessment reports we have
considerable experience providing evidenced based treatments for
individual's suffering trauma and psychological harm.
