Why You Should Instruct Nicky Ryder as Your MCA Assessor 🌟

When it comes to Mental Capacity Assessments, choosing the right professional isn’t just important — it’s essential. That’s why I’m proud to highlight the exceptional work of Nicky Ryder, a highly accomplished Occupational Therapist and Mental Capacity Assessor with extensive experience supporting individuals with some of the most complex physical and mental health needs.

Nicky has worked with people living with:

🧠 Traumatic Brain Injuries
🧬 Huntington’s Disease
🧩 Schizophrenia
🛡 Dementia
💛 Borderline Personality Disorder
🔄 Fluctuating capacity and diverse cognitive challenges

What truly sets Nicky apart is how her OT expertise enriches every assessment she delivers. She doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, she grades, adapts, and tailors each assessment to the individual — ensuring the environment, communication, and process genuinely maximise a person’s opportunity to demonstrate their capacity.

This is supported capacity in action: compassionate, skilled, person-centred, and grounded in real clinical understanding.

If you’re looking for an MCA assessor who brings depth, professionalism, and humanity to every case, instructing Nicky Ryder is an excellent decision.

The element that brings the team together, ensuring the client feels supported and the legal process is strengthened through clear, consistent, and compassionate Case Management.

Based in Norfolk and available for instruction across Cambridge, London, Essex, Lincolnshire and surrounding regions, Kerry brings RGN-level clinical insight combined with a practical, down-to-earth approach that solicitors value and clients trust.

🎄Festive Learning, Serious Expertise!🎄
Today our Circle Case Management Expert Witness Panel gathered for a full in-house training session — fuelled by mince pies, professional curiosity, and a commitment to delivering exceptional standards in clinical negligence, medical negligence and personal injury work.

Led by our Service Lead & Clinical Director Yvonne Spijkerman, alongside senior Expert Witness Maria Morris, these regular training sessions are a core part of how we safeguard consistency, clarity and clinical rigour in every report we produce.

Why does this matter for instructing solicitors?
Because high-quality expert evidence doesn’t happen by chance. It’s shaped through:
✅ Continual professional development
✅ Robust supervision
✅ Clear, up-to-date guidance
✅ Shared learning and peer challenge
— all of which reduce risk, strengthen medico-legal reasoning, and help ensure reports stand up under scrutiny.

Our panel’s commitment to ongoing training means you get experts who stay sharp, aligned, and thoroughly prepared — even when deadlines and caseloads start feeling as busy as December itself. 🎅

We’d love to hear from you:
👉 What qualities do you value most in an expert witness?
👉 And what’s on your professional wishlist for 2026?

Drop your thoughts in the comments! 👇
