Carson McDowell has a long association with the healthcare sector going back over 100 years to when we were first instructed by the Medical Protection Society. We have consistently built on this experience to establish a Healthcare Team comprising of specialist lawyers with expertise in all facets of healthcare law from high value clinical negligence claims to medical manslaughter, complaints, inquests, disciplinary issues, General Medical Council investigations, risk management advice, educational services and the provision of ethical advice. Our Healthcare Team fully recognise the impact that

litigation can have on Practitioners and are committed to ensuring that all groundless claims are discontinued at an early stage and that early settlement is achieved in cases which cannot be defended thereby reducing the impact on our clients, both in terms of damage to reputation and cost.
