Independent and treating roles
An independent medicolegal assessment is different from treatment. The assessor’s role, duty and limits of confidentiality will be explained before the assessment.
Independent, clearly scoped opinion
Medicolegal Services
Specialist medicolegal assessment and reporting for appropriately referred matters, with clear boundaries between independent opinion and treating care.
Overview
Care begins with the whole picture.
Medicolegal work requires a clear question, detailed documentation and an understanding of the assessor’s role. Harmony considers requests from solicitors, insurers and other authorised referrers according to practitioner expertise and availability.
The assessment process, documents required, report scope, fees and expected timing are confirmed before an appointment is accepted.
