Private Assessments

Private psychiatric and psychological assessments

Independent psychiatric and psychological assessments for individuals, arranged privately, giving a clear diagnostic picture and considered recommendations.

Not every assessment is for a court. Individuals sometimes need an independent psychiatric or psychological opinion for their own understanding, for their treating team, or for another organisation. Expert Medical arranges private assessments that give a clear diagnostic picture and considered recommendations.

01

A clear opinion

The assessment provides an independent diagnostic view and sets out the reasoning behind it, so the person has a clear account of their mental health.

Registered clinicians

Assessments are carried out by GMC-registered psychiatrists and HCPC-registered psychologists, matched to the type of question being asked.

Handled in confidence

Private assessments are arranged discreetly, and the resulting report is shared only as the person directs, in line with data protection requirements.

An independent opinion, arranged privately

Sometimes the value is simply a clear, independent answer. Our private assessments set out the diagnostic picture and sensible next steps, without overstating what an assessment can settle.
