Public Sector Healthcare

Our Healthcare Team comprises lawyers with a track record in the sector with an appreciation of the policies and regulatory constraints which shape its services.

We understand that our advice must take specific sector issues into account, whether legislative or guidance. We have extensive experience of working with the NHS, as well as for clients involved in social care services and those who are suppliers to the NHS.

We deliver a personal service to all our healthcare clients and aim to bring real value to those operating within significant budgetary constraints.

We are a supplier on the Crown Commercial Service Public Sector Legal Services Framework RM6240  and the KCS Procurement Services Legal Services Framework.
