Criminal Investigations against healthcare professionals

Where your employer involves the police, you face a complex situation which requires sure and confident advice. 

Often the police will want to interview you under caution, either voluntarily or having been arrested.

Years of criminal law experience, gathered in thousands of interviews under caution, mean that we get the optimum result for you where there are parallel criminal and fitness to practise investigations - we know well how to manage both aspects so that you do not prejudice one by what you say in the other.

We travel to wherever you are being interviewed - distance is no object.

 We are extremely comfortable dealing with the police, and will ensure you feel more at ease, with our sensible and sensitive handling of your case.

 Our advice here - say nothing until you have spoken to us on 01223 803873.

Here’s an example of what we can do for you.

Case Study

“We represented a nurse referred to the NMC after having received criminal convictions for assaulting a police officer and drink driving.

This client was at their lowest ebb and felt that giving up their career was the only possibility left to them.

We advised them on the proper approach to take to the case, which was to negotiate an appropriate sanction with the NMC.  They instructed us to carry out that negotiation.

Having done so, our client was able to continue practising with their registration simply being marked with a caution for a limited period of time.

Testimonial

"I received a criminal conviction after going through a tough period in my personal life. I thought I would be struck off the NMC register and so I almost made the decision to voluntarily remove myself and give up my career prematurely. However an internet search for an NMC solicitor lead me to Marc where I was impressed with the online testimonials and his professional profile. After speaking directly to Marc on the telephone I immediately asked him to manage my case due to his knowledge regarding NMC proceedings, his non-judgement professional approach and his calm trusting manner. I received clear advice and instruction from the outset and Marc was always available to contact, when I was having a crisis and even during his annual leave. The result was a caution order which was an excellent outcome in relation to the more serious NMC sanctions which could have potentially been imposed.
I didn’t have to attend a hearing or even speak to the NMC directly as Marc managed everything from start to finish. I am so relieved to put the whole ordeal behind me and continue to practice as a nurse, which at one stage I didn’t think I would be able to do again. I would highly recommend Marc to any registered nurse who finds themselves in the daunting and frightening situation of an NMC investigation."
