We help health and social care providers navigate the sector’s complex regulatory landscape by providing practical, effective advice on all aspects of regulatory compliance and enforcement in the health and social care sector, including support in the event of a criminal investigation.
We work with health and social care providers across the independent and public sector to manage the full spectrum of CQC regulation, including registration, compliance, enforcement, and related criminal investigations should they arise. We can help with:
Advising a large ophthalmology provider on CQC registration requirements following acquisitions and changes to corporate structure and locations
Successfully challenging a Notice of Proposal seeking cancellation of a care home provider’s registration following alleged breaches of failing to provide safe care and treatment and to safeguard service users from abuse
Securing a stay on First Tier Tribunal procedures to allow time for re-inspection and turnaround on compliance
Briefing a new international entrant on a range of potential services and mapping to registration triggers, to shape their business planning on start-up
Advising and representing a care home provider during a CQC interview under caution following allegations of safe care and treatment obligations
Advising an NHS provider on a parallel CQC investigation for breach of safe care and treatment and a police investigation for corporate manslaughter, gross negligence manslaughter, and wilful neglect following the death of a number of patients on the same ward. Both the CQC and police subsequently confirmed no action would be taken.

Clinical Negligence and Medical Malpractice
We understand the challenges that arise in the healthcare sector when patient expectations are not met, and we also recognise that cost pressures in the sector and on medical malpractice indemnifiers have never been so acute. As the provision of healthcare fragments away from its traditional delivery models, more and more claims activity will affect commercial entities, private clinics, hospitals, general healthcare providers – and their insurers.
