Why A1 Chronologies
A1 Chronologies is a specialist provider dedicated solely to the preparation of medical chronologies. Our work is confined strictly to the medical records supplied. This focused approach promotes clarity, neutrality and consistency across instructions, supporting efficient case analysis and expert reporting.
Since January 2025, we have provided chronology support across more than 50 medico-legal matters.*
*Includes work undertaken within A1 Reports Ltd.
Clear scope agreed in advance. Confidential handling of records.
Formal Terms of Engagement provided prior to commencement.
Service Levels
Designed for matters where records require additional organisation to support efficient review.
Suitable for most instructions where records are already in a usable and organised format.
Standard
Premium
The Premium Service includes one or more additional organisational or formatting features, including:
-
Indexing and/or pagination of all medical record pages received.
-
Chronology events hyperlinked to record entries.
-
Integration of the chronology with the underlying records into a single PDF file (bundling).
The Standard Service provides a clear, well-structured chronology, and is ideal where:
-
A chronology and summary is required without additional formatting.
-
The records are already paginated/indexed.
-
The records are not extensive, complex, and/or unstructured.
Inclusion of any one or more of the listed Premium features qualifies the instruction under the Premium Service.
In some cases, where records are extensive or unstructured, the Standard service may be unsuitable. If the records are in such a condition that hinders the
proper review of the matter at hand, A1 Chronologies reserves the right to refuse a request for the Standard Service and recommend the Premium Service.
Our chronologies are intended to be factual representations of records and do not constitute a medical or legal opinion.
The Process

The client accepts the Terms, provides formal written instruction and the medical records.
3
Fee &
Timescale
We review the records and issue a Confirmation with total fee and estimated completion date.
4
Chronology Preparation
The records are analysed and a clear, structured chronology is prepared.
5
Delivery &
Invoice
The chronology undergoes a final review before being securely delivered with the invoice.
This is an example of our standard process and is given as a guide only.
The actual process may differ depending on practicalities and the needs of both the client and A1 Chronologies.
Pricing
Our pricing is based on the number of record pages that are provided to us.
This per-page-pricing is transparent and eliminates the uncertainty of hourly billing.
Preferential rates are offered strictly at the discretion of A1 Chronologies.
Express Service and Bulk Pricing are subject to availability. Excipian Ltd, trading as A1 Chronologies, is not VAT registered.
Fees are calculated per page, with small-font or handwritten records charged at a higher rate due to the additional processing time required.
Prices are accurate as of Oct 2025 and are reviewed regularly, intended as a guideline only. The fee will be confirmed in the Terms of Engagement.
