Psychological therapy for employees
As the treating psychologist, Dr Loumidis's duty of care is to the patient. Patients can be self-referred or referred by their employers or their GP.  The aim is to assess and deliver psychological therapy.  Everything is confidential, unless there is an immediate risk to self or others. Patients have to consent to Dr Loumidis writing to their GP.  Fees are paid by employers, insurers, patients using their private medical insurance, or paying themselves on a session rate. 

Expert witness in employment law
As an expert witness, Dr Loumidis's duty is to the employment tribunal or the courts, and not to any one party, such as the claimant, the respondent or any representatives. Dr Loumidis will act as an independent expert witness only if he is formally instructed by an interested party (e.g., solicitors, employers, tribunals).  The aim is to deliver an independent expert report, usually over 20 pages long, based on a lengthy assessment, review of GP and HR records, usually on issues relating to Disability Discrimination, the Employment Act, fitness to work, what treatment may be required, or other specific questions.  Confidentiality cannot be assumed as personal information will be outlined in the report, which may be available in full to the employment tribunal or the courts.  Clients have to consent to Dr Loumidis preparing a report, but the report will contain an independent, unbiased opinion negotiable only in respect of basic factual detail.  Fees are paid by the instructing solicitors or agencies. 

Occupational health reports
As a clinical psychologist in occupational health, Dr Loumidis can  provide a professional opinion to the employer, who would commission a report and refer an employee.  The aim is to provide a brief psychological assessment, usually 1-2 pages long, outlining the employee's psychological health, fitness to work, what adjustments need to take place, and such a report cannot then be submitted as a medicolegal report. Employees will have to consent to Dr Loumidis preparing such a report. Fees for an assessment and a brief report are paid by the employers.
