On its launch this week Vicky Tomlinson, Partner in Browne Jacobson’s independent health and care sector team said :

“We are committed to forging strong, long term relationships with key stakeholders in the sector by providing them with the insights and connections that will help them to navigate the challenges and opportunities they face.

“Health and Care Connect will build on our extensive experience and knowledge of the sector and bring like-minded people together so we can all learn from each other about the challenges and issues the sector faces, discuss and develop creative solutions and open up new business opportunities.”
