Pharmaceutical and healthcare
Issues facing the healthcare sector
The healthcare industry is a highly complex integration of related disciplines and services, which includes pharmacy, private and public hospital services, primary healthcare services, medical emergency services, specialist doctor groupings, nursing and medical schemes, medical devices as well as biological and pharmaceutical products. Each of these is highly regulated. We have considerable expertise and experience in these areas and can advise on all issues relating to healthcare. We can also assist healthcare sector players to come to grips with current and proposed legislation, structure innovative and workable integrated models compliant with the law and to seize opportunities in the field.
How we can help you
Members of our healthcare team have been involved in providing
professional advice to virtually all disciplines across the healthcare
industry spectrum. We have advised healthcare companies on all aspects
of their businesses and professionals on professional conduct issues,
including hearings before regulatory bodies. We assist with formal and
informal investigations by various regulatory bodies and medical schemes
and have acted in assisting practitioners in medical negligence claims
and professional body enquiries. Members of our team were involved in
the litigation surrounding the pharmaceutical pricing regulations and
have an all round knowledge of pharmacy licensing issues, both for
hospital and retail pharmacies. We have advised on public private
partnerships in the hospital services industry, nursing issues, medical
negligence litigation, clinical trials and funder relations.
We
are able to offer advice in relation to commercial, regulatory and
legislation driven issues as well as issues relating to more usual
traditional healthcare.
Our project management approach means
that we fully scope, plan, cost and agree our work and fees in advance
with you, drawing upon our extensive experience. This approach follows a
proven process, supported by the right people, project controls and
communication protocols.
