Independent • Compassionate • Evidence-ledTrinidad & Tobago + Caribbean
For patients and families

When something in care does not make sense, you deserve a clearer picture.

An independent review can help organise the facts, identify unanswered questions and prepare you for a more informed conversation with the healthcare provider, regulator or legal adviser.

IndependentObjective review outside the care organisation
Systems-focusedCare processes, communication and technology
Privacy-consciousNo patient identifiers in the first enquiry
Plain languageClear findings without unnecessary jargon
Situations we can review

Start with the facts, not the fear.

The service examines healthcare systems, documentation, communication and medical-technology issues. When a clinical standard-of-care opinion is required, an appropriately licensed clinician must be engaged.

Clear professional boundaries

Independent review—not a promise of blame or compensation.

The purpose is to help you understand the available information and prepare an informed next step.

  • This service does not provide emergency care. Contact the appropriate emergency service if anyone is currently at risk.
  • It is not medical diagnosis or treatment advice. Clinical opinions must come from an appropriately licensed clinician.
  • It is not legal representation. Questions about negligence, liability, limitation periods or compensation require a lawyer.
  • It does not replace an official process. Hospitals, Regional Health Authorities, the Ministry of Health and professional regulators maintain their own complaint procedures.

Common questions

Before requesting a patient or family review.

Can I request a review for another adult?

An initial general enquiry is welcome, but identifiable records can only be reviewed after the patient’s written authorisation or appropriate legal authority has been confirmed.

Can the review prove medical negligence?

No. Negligence and legal liability are legal determinations. The review can organise the evidence, examine systems and technical factors, and identify where independent clinical or legal expertise may be required.

Will you tell me whether the treatment was medically correct?

Not unless an appropriately licensed clinician is separately engaged for that purpose. The core service focuses on records, timelines, communication, healthcare systems and medical-technology evidence.

How are medical records transferred?

Records are requested only after the engagement is accepted, authority and scope are confirmed, and secure transfer arrangements are provided. Do not send records through the website form or ordinary email.

How much does a review cost?

A 15-minute suitability call is complimentary, a 60-minute Case Clarity Consultation is TT$750, and written review packages start at TT$2,500. The exact scope and fee are agreed before work begins. See the patient and family fee schedule for package limits, add-ons and payment terms.
