Frequently asked questions
Healthcare lawyers specialise in all legal matters related to healthcare. They may represent either healthcare providers such as NHS trusts, private hospitals, primary care and dentists in defence cases, or individuals who have suffered injuries or losses as claimants. We navigate complex healthcare regulations and legal frameworks to ensure fair resolutions for our healthcare provider clients.
Regulatory bodies in health and social care oversee and ensure the professionalism and competency of healthcare and social work professionals. For example, the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) regulates various healthcare professionals, including therapists, scientists, and social workers in England.
