Hill Dickinson's independent health team has been advising the independent healthcare market for more than 15 years.
Led by a former medical practitioner, Dr Andrew Peel, the team was created to address the challenging and often unique problems that arise in the independent sector.
We are established advisers to independent healthcare practitioners, corporate partnerships and insurers. Clients benefit from our focus on delivering solutions in a prompt, cost effective and practical way, as well as our experience in handling sensitive matters that can attract media interest.

Hill Dickinson LLP has a large NHS client base with over 80
clients in the North West region and elsewhere. The team has also
been appointed to all ten lots on the North West NHS Collaborative
Procurement Hub. Practice head Allan Mowat is ‘experienced, wise,
sensible and pragmatic’.
This
firm's practice has a national range, but it is especially
identified as a player in the North West and West Midlands. It is
one of only two firms to have been appointed to all ten lots of the
North West NHS Commercial Agency, which is testament to both great
breadth of expertise and deep capacity. The team was recently
sought out by NHS West Midlands to advise on the Mid Staffordshire
inquiry.
