Thyroid Disease Expert Witnesses

The thyroid gland is an organ in the front of the neck which produces the thyroid hormones known as T3 and T4 (thyroxine) in response to thyroid stimulating hormone. Thyroid hormones control metabolism and affect the body’s basal metabolic rate, fat production, temperature, mood, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism. Whilst a normal thyroid cannot usually be palpated, an enlarged thyroid is referred to as a goitre and presents as a swelling in the neck.   Our expert witnesses are available to provide their expert medico legal opinion on cases involving thyroid dysfunction.
