Disciplinary and regulatory proceedings

A number of members of Chambers are experienced in proceedings before professional regulatory bodies and disciplinary tribunals.

Medical and health professions

Members of Chambers are legal assessors to the General Medical Council, the General Dental Council, the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and the General Osteopathic Council. Members are also legal advisers to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

Members also appear before these bodies as advocates. In particular, Richard Tyson appears regularly on behalf of the General Medical Council before its Fitness to Practise Panels.
