Psychiatric and psychological reports for tribunals

Independent reports and oral evidence for mental health, employment, disability and other tribunals, prepared to the evidential standards each tribunal expects.

Tribunals decide a wide range of matters, and many of them turn on a person's mental health. Expert Medical arranges psychiatric and psychological reports, and oral evidence where needed, for tribunals across England and Wales, prepared by clinicians experienced in giving evidence.

Tribunal-experienced clinicians

Reports are prepared by psychiatrists and psychologists who are used to the tribunal setting and to answering the specific questions a tribunal panel needs addressed.

The right report for the forum

We arrange reports for mental health tribunals, employment tribunals, disability and benefits appeals, and other panels, each written for the evidential requirements of that forum.

Independent and clear

The report is written to assist the tribunal, not to advocate for a party, and the reasoning is set out in plain language so the panel can follow it.

Evidence prepared for the tribunal that will hear it

Each tribunal has its own questions and its own standards. Our reports are prepared for the specific forum and set out the clinical evidence the panel needs to make its decision.
