Clinical mediation

Our national team are recognised experts in resolving clinical disputes for healthcare providers through Alternative Dispute Resolution and Mediation. We know that every adverse outcome has a significant impact on the injured patient, their family, and the staff and organisations that provide healthcare.

Sometimes clinical disputes before or after the litigation process has started can reach deadlock, or may require a difficult conversation between parties before a claim can be resolved or progress. Resolution is often not about damages but facilitating discussion or an offering an apology or explanation about treatment that has gone wrong.
