Professional Discipline & Regulation
Alice has acted on behalf of Regulators and Registrants across a range of regulatory bodies, and in particular as concerns Interim Orders and substantive hearings. She has appeared before regulatory panels and in the High Court.

She is part of a team of barristers undertaking such cases against 48 NMC Registrants, the first of which took place in March 2024.
