What we do for Manchester solicitors
We are a UK-wide panel. For Manchester instructions, location affects the practical arrangements, while the clinical issue determines the expert required.
Where a report requires the claimant to be examined, we match an expert who consults within reach of your client. The University Dental Hospital of Manchester is one of the country’s largest dental teaching hospitals, with specialist and consultant expertise including restorative dentistry, oral surgery and paediatric dentistry.
Where a records review answers the question, no examination is needed and location does not arise at all.
Geography in context
Where geography matters, and where it does not
Claimant examinations
When a physical examination is necessary, the location should be practical for the claimant and appropriate for the assessment required.
Attendance at a hearing
Attendance arrangements follow the court’s directions. Physical location can affect logistics, but it does not alter the expert’s overriding duty to the court.
Records-based opinion
Breach, causation and screening questions may be addressed from the available records where the scope permits. A nearby report is not inherently a better report.
Case coverage

Why solicitors instruct us
The clinical match comes before location
-
01
Sub-speciality before postcode
The nearest expert is not always the right expert. We identify the discipline required and then consider the practical location requirements.
-
02
Examination within reach
Where the claimant needs to be seen, the proposed examination location forms part of scoping the instruction.
-
03
A named case manager
One point of contact coordinates the proposed expert, CV, agreed scope and examination arrangements.
