Forensic Psychiatry Experts: What to Expect, and What Not to Do!

You are invited to attend our free CPD accredited webinar exploring the role of forensic psychiatry experts in criminal cases.

Presented by Dr Peter McAllister, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, this session will provide practical insight into what to expect from an expert witness, how to get the best from an instruction, and some of the common pitfalls encountered in forensic psychiatric assessments.

Dr McAllister has been preparing reports for the courts since 2001.

The webinar will cover key areas including:

• The difference between psychiatrists and psychologists

• Fitness to plead and participation in court proceedings

• Real case examples involving psychiatric evidence

• Common issues with expert instructions

• Remote versus face-to-face assessments

• Future developments in mental health law and criminal courts

This webinar is open to all attendees, and may be particularly useful for legal professionals, students and those involved in criminal casework.
