Stepping Forward: Celebrating 10 Years with Purpose
This year marks a very special milestone for Circle Case Management — our 10th birthday.
For a decade, we have supported individuals and families with compassion, expertise and dedication. As we reflected on how to celebrate this achievement, we knew we wanted to do something that represented who we are: a team committed to improving lives.
So we decided to take even more steps together, and turn them into big strides for charity.
Throughout March, Mandy Bryant will lead our Case Managers, Assessors, Experts and Head Office team as they join together to complete 10,000 minutes of walking nationwide, Mandy has even persuaded the Directors Pippa Bird Richard Thorp Yvonne Spijkerman to drop the laptops and don their trainers, (not literally before anyone tells IT).From countryside paths to coastal routes, treadmills to (possibly) wellies, every step contributes to a collective goal.
But this challenge is about far more than minutes.
We are walking in support of James’ Running Frame Campaign. James, a determined and inspiring athlete with cerebral palsy, discovered frame running — a sport that enables people with mobility challenges to experience speed, independence and exhilaration. The impact it has had on his life has been transformative.
Now, James is raising funds to establish an inclusive frame running club. His vision is to create a welcoming, supportive environment where children and adults of all abilities can access specialist equipment, build confidence and experience the joy of movement.
We have been inspired by his determination and by the incredible frame running community who have already loaned four frames to help get the club started.
As a team, we are proud to support this initiative in our 10th year.
If you would like to help us celebrate by supporting James’ campaign, please donate here:

Together, we can ensure our 10th birthday leaves a lasting legacy, or at least 10,000 steps towards it.

When capacity is in question, the quality — and approach — of the assessment is critical.

Nicky, a highly experienced Occupational Therapist and valued member of our MCA Team at Circle Case Management, delivers independent Mental Capacity Assessments grounded in the Mental Capacity Act (2005) and therapeutic best practice.

Her substantial experience spans complex physical and mental health needs including traumatic brain injury, Huntington’s disease, schizophrenia, dementia, borderline personality disorder and fluctuating capacity.

By integrating Occupational Therapy principles into MCA work, Nicky:

• Optimises supported capacity through carefully graded assessments
• Implements appropriate reasonable adjustments (visual aids, chunking, Easy Read materials, interpreters, sensory adjustments and more)
• Provides clear, structured and defensible reports suitable for litigation

Independent assessments are frequently required where:

• Capacity to litigate is questioned
• Deputyship (property & finances) is in issue
• Testamentary capacity is challenged
• LPAs are being created, amended or revoked
• Residency, care, gifting or contact decisions are disputed
• There is conflicting professional opinion regarding capacity

For solicitors and professional deputies, this is robust, person-centred assessment with autonomy and evidential strength at its core.

When clinical insight meets legal precision, the difference can be case-defining.

At Circle Case Management, we are proud to highlight the expertise of Judith Rushmer, Specialist Oncology and Haematology Nurse and Expert Witness, whose latest article tackles a critical and often life-threatening issue in oncology care: the early detection of neutropenic sepsis.

Neutropenic sepsis remains a recurring and significant factor in oncology negligence claims.

Delays in recognition, escalation, and treatment can have devastating consequences — and scrutiny in litigation is increasing.

With extensive frontline experience in oncology, haematology, intensive care and palliative care, alongside Bond Solon Expert Witness training and an LLB (Hons) in Law, Judith brings a powerful dual perspective. Her insight goes beyond clinical theory — it examines standards of care, breach, causation and the realities faced by healthcare professionals.

Her article offers clear, evidence-based analysis that is essential reading for those involved in clinical negligence and personal injury litigation.

Read the full article here:
www.circlecasemanagement.com/news/article/early-detection-of-neutropenic-sepsis-why-it-matters-and-why-expert-insight-is-critical

If you require a robust, balanced and authoritative nursing opinion in oncology-related matters, Judith is available to assist both claimant and defendant teams.

Contact expert@circlecm.com or call 01297 24145 to request her CV or discuss your Expert requirements.
