About Me

I'm an English and Irish qualified solicitor and I specialise in professional discipline and healthcare regulatory law. 

The main focus of my work is defending professionals at fitness to practise proceedings before their regulatory bodies, particularly doctors before the General Medical Council, paramedics before the Health & Care Professions Council and teachers before the Teaching Regulation Agency.

I also represent healthcare professionals and providers in both the NHS and private sectors in connection with a wide range of non-disciplinary matters including Care Quality Commission issues, inquests, judicial review proceedings, registration and specialist registration (CESR) applications, revalidation, NHS England market entry processes, patient complaints and claims, Family Health Service Appeal Unit (FHSAU) proceedings and Deanery/Foundation School ARCP appeals.
