The Lawyer & The Nurse

About The Lawyer & The Nurse

An advocacy service for the elderly, the vulnerable and anyone in need. Support with funding for elderly and continuing health care (CHC), benefits (PIP and ESA), special educational needs (SEN), and providing a consultancy service for care settings to meet CQC standards - also helping with annual reviews for CoP work.

Our motto “It’s About What’s Right” drives everything that we do – from the areas of law and regulation that we provide help with, to the affordability of our services. We understand that assistance with legal and regulatory areas of life from a firm of solicitors tends to be expensive, and cost is often the single biggest barrier to access justice. Our vision is to offer a truly independent charitable service that is free to access – and we will get there.

We have been lucky enough to secure the support of a legendary Solicitor and campaigner Yvonne Hossack, who has agreed to assist us in the setting up of a charity to help us with our work. The as yet un-named charity will meet the cost of appealing decisions not to fund care or award state benefits where the applicant is struggling financially.
