They are always realistic and practical and keen to find a solution, just as we are. I don’t need to spend time explaining how we work, they just “get it”
We know that clinical commissioning teams, case managers, nurse assessors and other health and care practitioners face challenges managing and responding to the influx of s21A challenges they are currently facing on top of all of the other commissioning issues that arise in the course of their work and we are here to help.
We have a committed, highly experienced team who work with commissioners and their front line colleagues and provide a full range of legal advice and representation as and when required. We proactively manage our clients’ legal case load and offer bespoke training and legal service reviews to help them anticipate problems before they arise.
We provide friendly, responsive advice and representation as and when you need it, whether that be in normal office hours or not. We have offices in Newcastle, Leeds and Manchester but we represent NHS clients country wide.
