Care Planning & Risk Assessment Expert Witnesses
Care Planning and Risk Assessment involves identifying a person's health, safety and support needs and developing individualised plans to manage foreseeable risks. Assessments may address falls, pressure damage, medication, mobility, nutrition, safeguarding and changes in clinical condition. Effective care requires clear documentation, regular review and appropriate escalation. Independent expert witnesses can evaluate care plans, risk assessments, implementation, professional standards and whether omissions contributed to harm in Clinical Negligence and Adult Social Care proceedings.
