About
An agency built to make instructing an expert easier
Vetted psychiatric expert witnesses, matched carefully and managed end to end. Birmingham based, instructed nationally.
Birmingham Psychiatry was set up to make it easier to reliably find a psychiatric expert witness. We know what a busy diary looks like, what a usable report looks like, and what a deadline really means when a hearing is listed. Our role is to match you with the right expert and to keep the engagement moving.
How we vet experts
Every expert on our panel holds GMC registration with a relevant specialist endorsement, maintains substantive NHS or independent clinical practice, and has prior medico-legal reporting experience. We ask for sample reports, references, and confirmation of CPR Part 35 training before listing.
What we do, and what we do not
We introduce instructing solicitors and barristers to suitable experts, agree fees, and manage timescales. The expert is independently instructed and owes their primary duty to the court. We do not write reports, give clinical opinions, or hold a clinician–patient relationship with any subject.
Where we work
Birmingham and the West Midlands by default, with assessments arranged in person, by secure video, or at chambers and solicitors' offices. National instructions are accepted where an expert can travel.
