Medico-Legal

An expert witness is a person who is wholly independent of the patient and has not been involved in providing care or treatment to them. Some physiotherapists who have developed expertise in a given area of practice and the legal process may choose to undertake expert witness work. Expert witnesses can choose to accept a request to provide a report and must have additional education, training and competence in understanding the role and responsibilities of being an expert witness. The solicitor asking for the report will provide the instructions for the work and the documentary evidence from which the expert will create a report.
