COVID-19 transmission in hospitals: management of the risk
29/10/2020
A prospective safety investigation conducted by HSIB
I am responsible for Bevan Brittan's highly regarded NHS employment practice. I have focused on advising healthcare organisations since 2005 and am a trusted adviser for many of the most influential HR leaders in the healthcare sector. I am one of the core partners in the team which was awarded "Legal Adviser of the Year" for four successive Health Investor awards from 2017 to 2020.
My aim is to support healthcare providers to develop effective, safe and compassionate workforce practices, reducing the risks of litigation and improving their workforce experience. I also specialise in supporting NHS executive teams on resolving high level disputes and organisationally critical litigation. Where litigation cannot reasonably be avoided I defend organisations in Tribunals, appellate courts and the High Court, specialising in defending complex multi-strand claims for discrimination, whistleblowing and breach of contract.
I and my team support healthcare clients through a broad range of non-contentious employment advice, advising on all scales of organisational change, to implementing policy and contractual models to support organisations’ strategic objectives.
He goes above and beyond...he is responsive, pragmatic and gives advice that enables the client to come to the best solution...he has an impressive understanding of the workforce and regulatory challenges facing the healthcare sector.
Training:
I regularly deliver training workshops, webinars and host discussion groups on all aspects of Employment Law including the implications of TUPE in reorganisations, transfers and service provision changes; equalities and discrimination; whistleblowing and raising concerns; redundancy; and mock Employment Tribunals.
