Our healthcare team has substantial experience in advising on all aspects of healthcare law including clinical negligence, complaints, inquests, the Children Act, hospital policies and protocols, human rights, confidentiality, and consent to treatment. We also have expertise in dealing with mental health issues, disciplinary proceedings, health and safety issues, and (clinical and non-clinical) risk management. 

 

Our lawyers are adept at handling the wide variety of day-to-day legal issues that arise when trusts deal with the police, the coroner and other non-health government bodies.

 

We service a wide range of clients including NHS trusts, MDOs and individual healthcare workers. Our deep understanding of the industry and legal issues involved means that we can quickly provide our clients with succinct and relevant advice. We are also used to dealing with the media on the often highly-sensitive issues that arise in healthcare cases.

 

The environment in which the NHS operates is constantly changing and we have adapted accordingly to ensure that our advice remains practical. Our lawyers frequently update their knowledge through our firm's extensive IT framework and regular training sessions with other lawyers and healthcare workers. We have also advised institutions such as The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation on becoming one of the first Foundation Trusts.

 

We have represented the NHS and individual trusts in clinical negligence claims and our lawyers are experienced litigators who frequently appear in all courts including the county courts, coroners' courts and the High Court. We are also one of the few firms appointed to sit on the NHSLA Panel.
