private health care
All publicly funded health services are the subject of
increasing choice and competition; whilst working within a
financially challenging environment and facing higher levels of
scrutiny - publicly and by the new regulator – the Care Quality
Commission. These trends have been affirmed by the new Health and
Social Care Bill which has given a clear indication that publicly
funded health services will be required to demonstrate that patient
quality, effective outcomes, innovation and cost efficiencies are
at the heart of their offering, requiring greater public-private
co-operation and collaboration.
We combine our experienced commercial and health practices and

private sector clients. We understand the challenge of aligning
commercial expertise with the regulatory, legislative and cultural
environment of the NHS to deliver commercially focussed and
