Flexible pricing

The needs of your practice will determine the level of legal support you require. This is recognised in the different packages we offer - bronze, silver and gold.


Bespoke packages for federations

We work with many federations and appreciate that for those with more than 3 practices, driving economies of scale is important. Please talk to us about a retainer package that best meets your structure and strategic aims.

There is no need to reinvent the wheel. We offer a full range of template policies and procedures, including contracts of employment and staff handbook policies, specifically designed for the healthcare sector. A full updating service is available for your peace of mind.

We provide practical, engaging training sessions covering a host of topical issues including safeguarding, health and safety, managing staff performance, equality and diversity, procurement and shared services, Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
