Health and Social Care

At Gold Jennings we have extensive experience advising clients in an array of health and social care matters. 

In addition to assisting individuals, we also undertake challenges to public bodies where larger groups of people are affected by adverse decisions of organisations providing health and social care services.

We use judicial review and other remedies to advance the interests of our clients.

We often provide advice and deliver training to charities and voluntary groups working in this area.
