Carly Caton

I am a partner in the Commercial and Infrastructure team, specialising in the healthcare sector. I advise on a wide range of commercial transactions and partnering arrangements including joint ventures, private patient hospital projects, consolidations and mergers, and integrated care / new models of care projects. I also have considerable experience advising NHS and private sector healthcare clients on international healthcare projects. I led the team which closed the Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust’s new PF2 hospital project (Midland Metropolitan Hospital), the first hospital to be procured under HM Treasury’s PF2 model and involving the construction of a new hospital on a brownfield site. I have also advised on numerous health PFI projects, and variations to health PFI projects.

I have authored various healthcare guides for LexisNexis and have contributed two articles to the Global Opportunity Healthcare magazine entitled:

• Education in Healthcare; and
• Exporting the NHS

Seminars and Training

I have delivered a number of seminars and spoken at conferences internationally on the UK Health PFI model and the move to PF2.  I have also conducted various training sessions on the "NHS Standard Contract" and the "NHS Contract for the Supply of Goods and Services".
