Become an Expert Witness

Experienced clinicians often consider working as expert witnesses as they become established in their careers, usually after gaining around ten years of experience. With medico-legal work typically carried out by consultants in addition to NHS clinics and private practice, working as a medical expert witness allows doctors and specialist therapists to expand their knowledge and experience in their field.

Medical expert witnesses work with leading solicitors, barristers and legal teams, providing client reports, services and testimony for claimant and defendant cases. You will consider an individual’s presentation, rehabilitation potential, and the impact of the injury on their life and future.

At NRC Medical Experts, we’re dedicated to mentoring and supporting the next generation of expert witnesses within neurological rehabilitation – covering brain and spinal injury, stroke, and neurodisability. An experienced expert witness will support you to become a medical expert.
