Our vision
Sequentus was established in 2022 to provide low cost legal advice and representation to healthcare professionals facing professional discipline proceedings who would otherwise be unrepresented. Our innovative partnerships with leading UK and international universities, delivering outstanding legal training opportunities for law students, helps to fund the work we do. With a team of qualified and trainee lawyers undertaking a range of advocacy and advice across different regulatory bodies, we also provide pro bono support in appropriate cases.
OUR WORK
We provide legal advice and representation in relation to professional discipline cases brought by the following regulators and organisations:
NEWS
We recently defended a healthcare professional facing misconduct charges including dishonesty and intentionally contributing to the death of a patient. During the course of a four-week hearing many of the charges were deemed to be no case to answer and on the remaining charges we secured a caution order as the final outcome.
We were instructed at the last minute to defend a healthcare professional in an interim order hearing relating to sexual misconduct. We successfully challenged the quality of evidence being advanced by the regulator, resulting in no interim order or restrictions being applied.
We provided legal advice and support to a healthcare professional in a case involving alleged misconduct and the death of a patient, with a five week hearing. We represented the client in parts of the substantive hearing of their case, resulting in a finding that their fitness to practise was not impaired.
We recently provided a healthcare professional with legal advice in relation to appealing the sanction in their case.
We recently helped a nurse facing regulatory concerns get her case closed at the screening stage on the basis that the referral was unsubstantiated and the result of bullying in the workplace.
We provided legal advice to a medical student facing allegations of sexual misconduct.
We provided representation for a healthcare professional facing an interim order review following a breach of their conditions of practice.
We provided a healthcare professional with legal advice on appealing the outcome of their case and successfully negotiated for the matter to be remitted back to a fresh panel.
We provided legal advice and representation to a social work student facing misconduct charges and secured a finding of no impairment.
We are pleased to announce that we will be offering our QWE skills training programme from 8 April and 8 July 2025. The programme is designed to help students from non-traditional backgrounds and those who need to gain experience whilst working around existing work, study and family commitments work remotely to secure the experience that is necessary in order to qualify as a solicitor through the SQE route.
We were instructed to review the outcome of a mental health nurse's fitness to practise hearing and provide legal advice and draft the grounds of hear appeal.
We were recently instructed by a pharmacist to represent them at a substantive order review hearing and secured no further order.
Our client was facing allegations of bullying junior members of staff. Following our intervention the case was closed at the screening stage.
