We have a dedicated team of Client Managers in place to take a full briefing on the case, handle all queries, administration, assessment bookings and take responsibility for ensuring reports are supplied to an excellent standard, on time. Our service to you is to work on your behalf, save you time, and give you the peace of mind that the whole process will go smoothly.
In rare cases, if necessary, our Client Managers can ask for the expert’s permission to release their contact details to you if deemed appropriate.
The vast majority of our Psychiatrists are Section 12 approved. If this is a stipulation, your Client Manager will ensure one is assigned to your case.
We vett all of our Psychiatrists prior to registration and only accept applications from psychologists who are registered with the GMC. We also ask that they provide an anonymous copy of a previous report for us to check, before we give them their first instruction. In addition to this all reports are quality checked by our Client Management team prior to being released to you.
