About me
I’m a Healthcare lawyer and represent a range of NHS organisations and private healthcare providers, advising on matters including inquests, patient safety and homicide investigations, patient complaints and regulatory matters, including CQC prosecutions.
A large part of my work involves meeting with clinicians and providing them with reassurance and tailored advice, so it helps that I’m personable, responsive, measured and able to find practical solutions that work. My clients know I’ll go above and beyond to help them and always go the extra mile.
I’ve dealt with all manner of strange and wonderful queries in my decade-long career in Healthcare and there’s very little that fazes me. My clients consider me to be a safe pair of hands who’ll steady the ship and work with them to find a way through choppy waters.
Separate to my work in healthcare, I’m proud to have established the firm’s Neurodiversity Networking Group, which brings together employees with experience of neurodiversity to find ways to improve working practices and recruitment.
