Why Instruct McCollum Consultants?

The Right Medical Expert for Your Case

We help legal professionals, insurers and other organisations identify an appropriately qualified medical expert witness from the relevant medical or surgical specialty. Provide key party details and a brief case outline, and we will complete a conflict check and nominate a suitable expert for your consideration.

Personal, Collaborative Relationships

We believe expert witness work should be personal, not transactional. We build long-term relationships with both our clinical experts and the professionals who instruct them, giving us a genuine understanding of their expertise, working practices and requirements. This allows us to provide informed, responsive support and create effective working relationships throughout each instruction.

 

Education, Training & Professional Development

Education is an important part of our offering. We provide complimentary training and educational events for both our clinical expert witnesses and the legal professionals, insurers and organisations who instruct them. From medico-legal training and professional development for experts to educational sessions on medical evidence and specialist clinical topics for instructing parties, we create opportunities to share knowledge, strengthen professional relationships and support best practice.

Support Throughout the Instruction

Our involvement extends beyond simply introducing an expert. From initial enquiry and preliminary case discussions to fees, instruction and ongoing case management, our team remains accessible and engaged throughout the process, providing a consistent point of contact for both experts and instructing parties.

McCollum are amazing! An incredibly well organised and professional company that I've had the privilege of working with for the last year. Their communication is excellent and the standard of their reports and overall service is second to none. Highly recommended by me to meet all your medico-legal needs.
Jen Shipley | Director in Medical Negligence | Fieldfisher
"From my point of view, I have had a very positive experience from the service provided by yourself of McCollum Consultants and Dr Gorton. The initial contact was quick and easy having been referred by NCA and service was professional and informative with relevant guidance on what assistance could be provided. This was then followed up with terms of business, timescales and a product provided, as requested, and promised. In my opinion as a Senior Investigator, utilising McCollum Consultants and you has been very easy to secure an expert witness. It has also been invaluable to have yourself overseeing the process, giving guidance, identifying the expert witness, liaising with the expert witness, collating information, and ensuring the final report was available."
