Our associates also attend our additional professional development days and are continuously supported within ongoing training to ensure the highest level of quality and service.

How our associates will support you

Each case is unique and very rarely straight forward which is why making sure you have the right associate is crucial to getting the right outcome. Injuries and illnesses can have many different health implications and subsequent care needs. Instructing the correct care expert with experience in their own field that entirely reflects your requirements will strengthen any case.

All of our associates have online profiles and are organised based on the report types they specialise in. You can request a specific CV for any of our associates to ensure you have the right person working with you on your case.

Once you have instructed an appropriate associate, all relevant information is gathered and following a domiciliary visit, analysis of the information provided and of that given at assessment is used to formulate a detailed report. All of our full reports are CPR compliant and compiled following an extensive review of the evidence and information presented.

We pride ourselves on the range of specialisms our associates offer.
