Doctors legal services – GMC Defence Barristers

Doctors legal services – GMC Defence Barristers have considerable experience in dealing with healthcare regulators. We represent doctors facing a wide range of Fitness to Practise allegations and registration issues.
We advise doctors facing GMC proceedings, often from the outset of the case, challenging whether there is even a case to answer. We also offer representation at interim orders hearings right through to substantive hearings. We can also appeal the decisions of the GMC to the High Court.
We also offer services via the Public Access Scheme. Our GMC Defence Barristers can work directly with you on your case. We are specialist barristers who can work with you from the outset through to the conclusion, assisting with preparations for you case and also represent you at hearings before the GMC.
