Hi. I have a client who has fallen between LD and PD/mainstream services for years. Following a tribunal last year recommending transfer from an unsuitable PD ward to a LD placement, she was finally transferred to a specialist LD hospital. However the LD placement closed, so she’s found herself back on a PD ward in Essex… we’re going to apply for another tribunal and I want to obtain an independent report from someone in or around Essex. I could do a google search but I want someone really good, who comes highly recommended. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Catherine

Dr Claudia Camden-Smith (based at the Oxford Clinic) is really patient-centred as a consulant in LD.

For placements or moves, you may want to consider an Independent Social Worker too (Independent Social Circumstances report).
