The role of the Solicitor is to support the Healthcare Legal Team in the provision of a dedicated in-house legal service, in order to mitigate risk and achieve costs savings across the following core areas: · Healthcare advice: including but not limited to consent, capacity, data protection, Mental Health Act and regulatory proceedings, for both adults and children. We manage High Court Applications inhouse, at a significant cost saving to the Trust.
· Disclosure requests: assisting the police and local authority on childcare and criminal proceedings, where the Trust may not be a party to proceedings. We have experience of managing complex childcare proceedings inhouse, as the south west regional centre for children. · Claims: management of Clinical Negligence and Third Party Claims, in line with NHSR’s schemes. We work closely with clinicians and our Divisions to robustly defend claims, protecting the interests of the Trust. · Inquests: support and representation of staff in the Coroner’s Court.
