Personal Care Consultants was founded in March 1997 and continues to lead the field in Assessment, Advice, Training, Design & Management in the health and social care sector.

We engage a multi-disciplinary team of Consultants made up of Social Workers, Occupational Therapists and Nurses who have a range of experience and areas of expertise. In August 2007 Personal Care Consultants changed the way of working and now engage fee earners who are self employed consultants.  We have found this to be a beneficial way of working as the self employed consultants can set their own hours and levels of work, thus allowing them to pursue their other professional and personal interests.  We utilise bespoke Case Management, Case Records and Financial databases designed to facilitate workflow from referral through to invoice.

We provide expert witness and consultancy services in the medico-legal and community care fields.  We carry out independent community care assessments in relation to judicial view proceedings commissioned for the High Court by solicitors and provide independent Best Interests reports in Declaratory Relief proceedings in the High Court / Court of Protection instructed through the Official Solicitor.  We also undertake independent community care assessments for social services departments following complaints due to the complex and special needs of individuals.

Personal Care Consultants provide case management services to people following catastrophic personal injuries or situations of clinical negligence.  We specialise in working with children and adults who have acquired brain injury and also who have behavioural difficulties.

We undertake occupational therapy assessments and manual handling operations risk assessments which are commissioned by solicitors on behalf of the Courts either in respect of judicial review or in relation to personal injury, accident or negligence claims.

We provide training in all community care issues, community care legislation and community care provision.  Personal Care Consultants are an Edexcel Approved Centre and have developed both a BTEC Advanced Award in Provision of Community Equipment and a BTEC Advanced Certificate in People Handling Skills.
