Health & social care

Health and social care providers face a complex array of challenges – from delivering the highest quality services within the constraints of a financially difficult climate, to increasing scrutiny from regulators. Providers have never needed more specialist support in order to drive compliance and positive customer experiences.  

To thrive, the voice of care providers, and those supported by the sector, must be championed, and backed by a deep understanding of the legislative and societal changes that impact the individuals and organisations that make this sector special, yet so complex.  

As a strategic partner to many of the sector’s representative bodies including Homecare Association, the National Care Forum, Care England and Learning Disability England, we have the sector understanding and proficiency required to deliver practical, first-class legal services, while ensuring our support is as easily accessible as possible.

We move quickly to manage urgent challenges – whether its changes to the CQC’s assessment regime, HSE compliance, Ofsted inspections or not being paid sufficiently well by public sector commissioners.  – We ground our advice  thorough our understanding of the industry’s enduring ongoing challenges.
