01
What a sport and exercise expert witness is asked to determine
The opinion is based on the records, assessment findings and the clinical context available at the relevant time. It separates the documented presentation from later outcome and identifies the issues that require specialist evidence.
- the mechanism and presentation of an exercise-related injury.
- the suitability of training, conditioning and return-to-activity decisions.
- whether rehabilitation progression was appropriate for the records available.
- the impact of injury on activity, work with physical demands and recreation.
- future conditioning and exercise requirements.
Practitioners are listed across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, with listings searchable by location.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Will a Sport & Exercise Medicine expert witness respond to Part 35 questions?
Yes - CPR 35.6 entitles the parties to put written questions on a report, and answering them is part of the expert's duty to the court. A Sport & Exercise Medicine report prepared for proceedings in England and Wales carries the Part 35 statement of truth, with equivalent duties applying in the other UK jurisdictions.
Can a Sport & Exercise Medicine expert act as a single joint expert?
Where the court directs a single joint expert under CPR 35.7, the instruction is agreed between the parties and put jointly - a routine basis of instruction in this field. Whether a particular practitioner accepts SJE appointments is confirmed with the practitioner at the enquiry stage.
Will the expert attend joint discussions or give evidence at trial?
Where the court directs discussions between experts under CPR 35.12, they meet and produce a joint statement of what is agreed and what is disputed; attendance at trial - in person or by video link - is likewise a matter of court direction. These commitments are confirmed with the practitioner at instruction.
Can I choose a Sport & Exercise Medicine expert of a specific gender, or one who assesses remotely?
Yes on both counts. Every listing displays the practitioner's gender, consulting locations and assessment types - face to face, remote or both - so sensitive-instruction preferences can be applied at the shortlisting stage, before any contact is made.
