As the situation with Covid 19 is still an issue for claimants travelling into London, we will continue to arrange “virtual” telephone examinations for all condition & prognosis cases.

We are requesting that medical records be sent to us via electronic means wherever possible.

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

We currently have a 6 week wait for telephone appointments, with a turnaround of 3-4 weeks for preparation of the report.

For reports that don’t require an examination, the turnaround is 6-8 weeks following receipt of instructions.

We hope that you are keeping well as we gradually return to normality.

Please note that during this difficult time we are managing to keep working and it’s “business as usual” for Professor Allen-Mersh.

As the situation with Covid 19 and lockdown looks set to continue for a while, we are currently arranging “virtual” telephone examinations for all condition & prognosis report cases.

We are requesting medical records be sent to us via electronic means, although in some circumstances hard copy records can be delivered to an alternative address, where necessary.

We hope that you are keeping well and are coping with the situation and look forward to returning to normality in the near future.
