While the vast majority of health professionals behave appropriately, cases of inappropriate clinical and ethical behaviour are not uncommon.
Catherine Henry Partners have advised and represented health professionals including:
- medical practitioners
- nurses and midwives
- psychologists
- pharmacists
- physiotherapists
- chiropractors and
- dentists
in health disciplinary matters before the various health disciplinary boards and tribunals.
Our lawyers also have a long history of acting for patients who have brought claims of sexual abuse against health professionals. Such individuals may already be suffering mental health, marital or social problems and are highly vulnerable to inappropriate suggestions and advances. Our women lawyers are experienced at sympathetically exploring the often sensitive and painful issues in establishing which remedies are available and bringing these cases to justice.
