Independent Assessment of Neurological Prognosis
Understanding the likely long-term outcome of a neurological condition is essential when assessing the value of a claim, future treatment requirements, care needs, loss of earnings and the wider effect on an individual’s independence.
Our consultant neurologists assess prognosis by considering the diagnosis, severity of the condition, clinical history, treatment received, investigation findings, current symptoms, functional progress and the individual’s pre-existing health.
Depending on the condition and available evidence, the expert may comment on the likely extent and timescale of recovery, residual symptoms, risk of deterioration, future treatment, rehabilitation needs and the effect of neurological impairment on daily living and work.
Prognosis is not always certain. Reports distinguish between outcomes that are likely, possible or less likely and identify the clinical factors that may alter the anticipated course. Where further review or investigation may materially affect the opinion, this is stated clearly.
Each report provides an independent and clinically reasoned opinion based on the records, examination findings, relevant medical evidence and accepted neurological practice.
