Medicolegal & Coronial Support
Clear clinical insight when the stakes are high
When an incident, complaint, claim or death leads to formal scrutiny, organisations need to understand not only what happened, but the clinical significance of the evidence. Athena provides independent medical review and practical support to help healthcare teams, senior leaders and legal advisers understand complex clinical cases, prepare robust evidence and respond confidently to external scrutiny.
1. Define the clinical question
We clarify the issues requiring clinical analysis, the purpose of the instruction and the relevant records, evidence and timescales.
2. Examine the evidence
We undertake structured review of clinical records, chronologies, policies, statements and other relevant material to identify the key clinical issues.
3. Provide independent clinical analysis
We explain the clinical evidence clearly, consider relevant standards of care and identify matters requiring further scrutiny, clarification or specialist opinion.
4. Report and support proceedings
Where formally instructed, we provide independent expert reports and support subsequent legal or coronial proceedings, including written questions, conferences, expert discussions and joint statements, and oral evidence where required. Reports are prepared in accordance with the applicable procedural rules and the expert’s overriding duties to the court or tribunal.
