Dr Andreas Nintos has been undertaking medico-legal work since 2024 and accepts instructions in personal injury, clinical negligence, industrial disease and fitness to practise matters involving adult claimants. His medico-legal practice focuses on the neuropsychological assessment of adults with complex cognitive, neurological and psychological presentations, including traumatic brain injury, sports-related brain injury, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, neurodegenerative conditions, dementia, chronic pain, capacity issues and the cognitive consequences of repeated head injury.

He is instructed to provide expert opinion on screening, breach of duty, causation, condition and prognosis. Dr Nintos’ current medico-legal work includes comprehensive neuropsychological assessment in national rugby concussion litigation, where he evaluates cognitive function and the potential long-term neurological consequences of repeated head trauma.

Dr Nintos’ clinical interests centre on the neuropsychological and psychological assessment of adults with complex pain, cognitive impairment and neurological conditions. Much of his current practice involves evaluating patients whose pain presentations are being considered in the context of advanced interventions, including neuromodulation, where psychological formulation, risk assessment and suitability for treatment are clinically important.

He has a particular interest in the interaction between neurological disease, cognition, mood and functioning. His work includes assessment of memory problems, dementia and other neurodegenerative conditions, as well as the cognitive and psychological effects of traumatic brain injury, repeated head injury, stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. He is also experienced in assessing patients with neurodevelopmental and lifelong neurological conditions, including spina bifida, hydrocephalus and cerebral palsy.

In day-to-day practice, Dr Nintos applies structured neuropsychological assessment, psychometric testing and psychological formulation to clarify cognitive strengths and difficulties, guide diagnosis, inform treatment planning and support rehabilitation.
