I am a Regulatory lawyer and I am one of the leads of the Health & Care Regulatory – Inquests, Inquiries & Regulatory team in the Midlands. I have over 10 years’ experience of advising health and care providers within the public and private sector on a broad range of police, health and safety and regulatory issues.
I regularly appear as an advocate in complex and high profile inquest proceedings in the Coroner’s Court representing health and care providers, local authorities, housing providers and education providers.
I represent organisations at interviews under caution and in defence of prosecutions brought by Police and other regulators including the Care Quality Commission and Health and Safety Executive. I deliver training to Board members and health and safety managers on regulatory investigations, serious incident responses and compliance matters.
My experience includes:
Acting on behalf of care providers at inquests where there has been a death of a customer.
Acting on behalf of NHS Trusts in relation to medical deaths, including alleged surgical and nursing failures.
Acting on behalf of Mental Health Trusts in relation to inquests where patients have committed homicides and there are alleged failings in care.
Acting on behalf of Mental Health Trusts following deaths of patients in the community, or those receiving in-patient care whilst detained under the Mental Health Act.
Representing local authorities at inquests where they have responsibility for the provision of housing or other amenities and facilities.
Representing organisations where there have been deaths in prison.
Representing organisations following the death of employees in construction accidents.
Advising organisations on their health and safety obligations, including assistance defending and taking regulatory action.
Advising local authorities on their health and safety enforcement responsibility, including assisting with health and safety prosecutions.
Working with housing providers to support their health and safety compliance objectives, including advising on defending health and safety prosecutions/enforcement action.
