At Southside Psychiatry, we provide expert medicolegal services tailored to support legal processes and assessments requiring psychiatric input. Our highly qualified clinicians offer detailed psychiatric evaluations, reports, and expert witness services for a variety of legal contexts, including personal injury claims, employment disputes, fitness to work assessments, and criminal proceedings. We specialize in assessing mental health conditions, their impact on individuals, and any contributory factors relevant to legal cases. With a commitment to professionalism, accuracy, and timely service, our medicolegal expertise ensures that we deliver clear, impartial, and thorough documentation to support the needs of solicitors, insurers, courts, and other legal professionals.
In addition, our clinicians are approved under Section 22 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003, ensuring they are qualified to conduct statutory assessments and provide reports when required. We also offer assessments of capacity for guardianship applications and as part of the process for applying for power of attorney. Our team provides these critical services with compassion and precision, ensuring legal and clinical standards are upheld while supporting individuals and families during important life decisions or legal proceedings.
