Brain injury: expert witnesses
The central questions are severity, permanence and the practical reach of cognitive or behavioural change. Capacity, rehabilitation and future support may each require evidence from more than one discipline.
The evidence
The disciplines this matter instructs
The register should be searched by the question a practitioner is asked to answer, not by a generic medical title.
Select the relevant disciplines, then agree scope, fees and availability directly with the practitioner.

The context behind the instruction
Capacity evidence must be framed for the relevant jurisdiction. In England and Wales it is decision-specific; Scotland has its own statutory framework and terminology.
For nation-specific context, see expert evidence across the UK. The register does not determine legal issues or provide legal advice.
Report routes
Reports commonly considered
condition and prognosis reports and care needs assessment reports provide distinct forms of evidence. Their scope should follow the issues, available records and the questions put to the expert.
