Medico-Legal Independent Expert Consultant Psychiatrists
Republic of Ireland
Neuromed Clinic Ireland provides independent psychiatric and psychological expert witness assessments and medico-legal reports for solicitors, barristers and other legal professionals.
Our medico-legal service brings together experienced Consultant Psychiatrists, Forensic Psychiatrists, Specialist Child & Adolescent Psychiatrists and Child & Adolescent Psychologists, enabling us to match each instruction with an expert whose clinical expertise is appropriate to the issues arising in the case.
We accept instructions across a broad range of civil, family and criminal proceedings, including:
Personal Injury & Psychological Injury – psychiatric and psychological assessment of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, functional impact, causation, prognosis and future treatment needs.
Clinical Negligence – independent assessment of psychiatric injury, causation, exacerbation of pre-existing difficulties, treatment requirements and prognosis.
Family Law – psychiatric and psychological assessments where mental health, psychological functioning, trauma, neurodevelopmental difficulties or decision-making capacity are relevant to the proceedings.
Capacity – decision-specific psychiatric assessments addressing capacity in the context of legal proceedings, financial/property matters, healthcare and other relevant decisions.
Criminal & Forensic Psychiatry – specialist psychiatric opinion where issues of mental disorder, fitness to plead, criminal responsibility and other forensic psychiatric questions arise.
Child & Adolescent Cases – specialist assessment of children and young people in litigation, including psychological injury, trauma, mental health and neurodevelopmental presentations.
International Protection & Immigration Matters – psychiatric assessment and independent expert opinion where mental health and trauma are relevant to proceedings.
Our experts understand the distinct role of the independent expert witness and the requirement to provide objective, evidence-based opinion within their area of expertise.
Neuromed's dedicated medico-legal coordination service provides a single point of contact from initial enquiry through to completion of the report, assisting with expert selection, documentation, scheduling and communication throughout the instruction.
We welcome enquiries from legal professionals in Ireland, Northern Ireland, England & Wales and Scotland, and are happy to discuss the requirements of an individual case prior to formal instruction.
