Alternatives to litigation

There are a bewildering number of bodies that oversee, assess, regulate, and analyse the provision of healthcare in the UK.  Sometimes it can be difficult to see how their responsibilities differ.  In this section of our website, we have provided a summary of the most important bodies: what they do, how they can help you, and how to contact them.

We hope that this information is useful but, if you are still struggling to identify the body to which you should turn, please feel free to contact us; we will be very happy to talk you through your options.
