Supporting Doctors When Their Careers Are at Risk

We are proud to be recognised by Doctors’ Association UK (DAUK) for the work we do supporting doctors facing difficult and often highly stressful workplace and professional challenges.

DAUK has a long-standing commitment to supporting doctors — not only in campaigning for better patient care and a stronger NHS, but also when individual doctors find themselves facing difficulties at work, with their employers, or with regulatory bodies.

DAUK have said of Imran Khan and Partners:

“Doctors Association UK supports our members not only in campaigning for better patient care and the NHS but also when members find themselves in workplace difficulties. In fact that is how DAUK came about with the work of Jenny Vaughn and her high profile 'Learn not Blame' campaigns. To support our members we need to work with law firms who understand the unique difficulties doctors face with their employers, the GMC and others. They need nuanced knowledge, doggedness and commitment as many doctors are not treated fairly, discriminated against and feel overwhelmed as they fight for their careers and livelihood. Imran Khan and Partners provide just that and more and we at DAUK are very grateful to work with them.”

At Imran Khan & Partners, Daniel Cooper and Imran Khan KC are committed to supporting doctors facing complex workplace and professional challenges, providing specialist legal advice and representation when their careers and livelihoods are at risk.

Specialist legal support for doctors

Doctors facing workplace difficulties often find themselves navigating a uniquely complex landscape. Employment issues can overlap with professional regulation, GMC processes, discrimination, whistleblowing, patient safety concerns and the pressures of maintaining a career and livelihood.

This is why specialist legal advice matters.

DAUK recognises that the lawyers supporting doctors need more than a general understanding of employment law. They need nuanced knowledge of the medical profession, determination, resilience and a genuine commitment to achieving fair outcomes for doctors.

We are therefore particularly grateful for DAUK’s kind words about Imran Khan and Partners:

“They need nuanced knowledge, doggedness and commitment as many doctors are not treated fairly, discriminated against and feel overwhelmed as they fight for their careers and livelihood. Imran Khan and Partners provide just that and more and we at DAUK are very grateful to work with them.”

We are honoured by this endorsement and by the trust DAUK places in us to support its members.

Standing alongside doctors

At Imran Khan and Partners, we understand that for a doctor, a workplace dispute is rarely simply a workplace dispute. The consequences can extend far beyond employment — affecting professional reputation, registration, career progression, financial security and wellbeing.

Our role is to provide clear, specialist advice and robust representation when doctors need it most.

We are proud to work alongside DAUK in supporting doctors and advocating for fair treatment, due process and accountability across the medical profession.

If you are a doctor facing difficulties at work or with a professional regulator, our specialist team is here to help.
