Private hospital operators are continuing to experience a range of difficult issues. The current economic climate, falling demand for private care and an increase in regulation by the CQC and Monitor are all combining to make life in the sector very challenging.

Our expert team has an in-depth understanding of the sector and the issues you are facing. We will work with you collaboratively and take time to understand and respect your requirements in this difficult climate. We draw on a wide range of experience gained from acting for many public, private and third sector health clients, including many NHS trusts across the country.
