Private Health Mediation

Our national team are recognised experts in resolving clinical disputes for private healthcare providers –through Alternative Dispute Resolution and Mediation. We know that every adverse outcome has a significant impact on the injured patient, and the individual , clinic or hospital that provide healthcare.

Sometimes medical malpractice disputes before or after the litigation process has started can reach deadlock, or may require a difficult conversation between patient and practitioner 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. Our experience is demonstrated with a Band 1 team rating in Chambers.
