Frequently asked questions
Where would a Belfast assessment take place?
Each listing names its consulting locations and assessment types before you make contact: face-to-face appointments are held at the practitioner's own premises, and remote assessment removes the journey altogether where the case suits it. Nothing about the logistics is left to be discovered after instruction.
What if the specialty my case needs has no Belfast listing?
The instruction is still covered. Location results automatically include practitioners who assess remotely, each labelled with where they are actually based - so a Belfast search never ends at an empty page while a remote-capable specialist exists on the register.
Can I shortlist Belfast experts by sub-specialty, expertise or gender?
Yes - the register filters by category, specialty and specific medico-legal expertise as well as location, and every listing displays the practitioner's gender and experience. A Belfast search can start from the precise question in issue and a sensitive-instruction preference at the same time.
