Healthcare

Hill Dickinson has one of the UK's largest healthcare practices acting on behalf of health authorities, NHS trusts and other health service bodies. The scale and expertise of our health practice is unprecedented in the UK; the firm is a member of the National Health Service Litigation Authority's panel and no other firm acts for as many trusts or as many health related clients and projects.

The healthcare team understands the needs of the health sector and the importance of providing immediate access to high quality legal advice on diverse NHS issues. The team advises on all matters including consent to treatment, confidentiality, indemnity and governance issues. It is able to offer an immediate telephone response, including an out of hours service. The team prides itself on being able to offer practical, timely advice to clients and a pro-active response to all matters leading to early resolution and a reduction in legal costs.
