Professor Allen-Mersh attended a course on “Emergency General Surgery” at the Royal Society of Medicine in January 2021.

Professor Allen-Mersh attended a “virtual course in proctology” at the European Colorectal Congress in November 2020.

During the Coronavirus lockdown, there has been a high demand for condition & prognosis reports. Professor Allen-Mersh is still seeing Claimants at the Cromwell Hospital in London, but remote examinations are often being arranged by telephone with good results. Home visits can also be arranged with an additional fee for travel costs.

Currently there is a 6 week waiting list for appointments, and reports can be provided within 2-3 weeks of the appointment taking place.

Liability & causation reports can be prepared within 6 weeks of receipt of all documentation, as usual.

During lockdown and beyond, we will be happy to receive medical records sent to us via all secure electronic platforms.

Hard copy medical records can still be accepted if sent via Royal Mail.

**********************

The situation with Coronavirus seems to be continuing unfortunately. As some Claimants are not able/willing to travel into London, Professor Allen-Mersh can provide a domiciliary visit/arrange a telephone examination for condition & prognosis cases, where this is requested.

Currently there is a 3 week wait for appointments, with a turnaround of 2-3 weeks for preparation of the report.

For reports that don’t require an examination, the turnaround is 6 weeks following receipt of instructions.

The situation with Covid 19 is still an issue for some Claimants who are not happy about travelling into London, and Professor Allen-Mersh will continue to arrange “virtual” telephone examinations for condition & prognosis cases where this is requested.

We are now also able to arrange appointments for face to face examinations.

We currently have a 4 week wait for appointments, with a turnaround of 2-3 weeks for preparation of the report.

For reports that don’t require an examination, the turnaround is 4-6 weeks following receipt of instructions.
