Instruction to expert The nominated Expert will be instructed to provide an appointment and prepare a medical report when all the relevant documents have been received, and will be sent a copy of the acting Solicitor’s instruction letter. We write to the Client to notify them of the appointment date, venue and the name of the examining Expert. The Client should be offered an appointment date within 10 days in the case of GP Instructions and 14 - 28 days for Consultant cases. On receipt of appointment dates, we will send notification to the Solicitor and contact the Client to confirm that they are aware of the appointment and are able to attend.

We would expect to receive the medical report from a GP within 1 – 3 weeks from the examination. In the case of Consultant reports, we would expect receipt within 2 – 4 weeks following the date of the examination. If the medical report is not received within these timescales, we regularly chase the Expert by telephone and in writing and notify the instructing Solicitor.
