Buying a property with your partner is an exciting milestone, but have you considered the legal implications of how your home is owned?

Many people assume that jointly owning a property means their interests are automatically protected.

However, the way a property is owned can have significant consequences if the relationship ends, the property is sold, or one owner passes away.

Our latest article explains the differences between joint tenants and tenants in common, the role of declaration of trust, and the steps you can take to protect your interests before signing on the dotted line.

Could lessons learned from past tragedies help improve patient safety for future generations?

When a coroner identifies concerns during an inquest that could place others at risk, they may issue a Prevention of Future Deaths Report. These reports are designed to highlight important safety issues and encourage organisations to make improvements that could help prevent similar deaths occurring in the future.

Our latest article explores recent reports involving healthcare services highlighting common themes including delays in diagnosis, communication issues, discharge planning concerns and wider NHS service pressures.

What should you do if you're worried a loved one is getting worse in hospital, but feel nobody is listening?

A new patient safety measure is being introduced across all A&E departments in England, giving patients, families and carers a way to request an urgent review when they are concerned that a patient's condition is deteriorating.

Families are often the first to notice when something isn't right, and this initiative aims to ensure those concerns are heard and acted upon.

Our latest article explains:
✅ Who can raise concerns
✅ How the process works
✅ When an urgent review can be requested
✅ What patients and families need to know
