Don’t draw advice and expertise without joining forensic criteriology* or lacking thorough technical and scientific analysis of clinical problems.

In all areas of inquiry and in particular within healthcare professional responsibility, Forensics is committed to pursuing a high-quality reliable method, avoiding fideistic assessments, merely based on personal experience. Moreover it undertakes to erect a barrier grid to the spread of unreliable scientific information in favor of evidence-based, objective and objectively repeatable and verifiable knowledge which has achieved consensus of national and international scientific communities.

* Criteriology: ”Theory of the means and methods of thought to distinguish right from wrong” (Dictionary Devoto-Oli).
