Healthcare Regulation and Compliance Healthcare

We advise public and private sector clients on the duties of statutory bodies and the procedures that the healthcare clients must follow.

We have extensive experience dealing with professional disciplinary systems, codes and procedures. This experience enables us to provide practical advice to healthcare statutory bodies and their stakeholders. In particular we work with healthcare regulators, regulated persons and anyone undertaking or subject to investigations.

We also advise voluntary hospitals and many other healthcare providers on structuring, corporate governance and charity law issues. We have vast experience advising section 38 and section 39 agencies on their obligations under charity law, company law and the governance requirements of the Health Service Executive.
