Dual Diagnosis Expert Witnesses
Dual Diagnosis commonly refers to co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, although the term is also used for mental illness alongside a learning disability. Assessment considers how conditions interact, affect risk and complicate treatment. Care may require coordinated psychiatric, addiction and community support. Independent expert witnesses can assess diagnosis, risk management, treatment planning, professional standards and whether failures contributed to harm in Clinical Negligence proceedings.
