Health and Social Care Consultancy (HSCC) Ltd

Health and Social Care Consultancy (HSCC) Limited is a specialist provider of advocacy, consultancy and expert‑witness services for the health and social‑care sector. Led by Ruadhan Hogan – a CORU‑registered social worker with more than 15 years of frontline experience – the firm helps individuals, service providers and legal teams navigate complex care‑related issues with clarity and confidence.

HSCC’s advocacy offering delivers independent assessments and reports that empower people who find it difficult to represent their own interests. These reports can be used in assisted‑decision‑making applications and to convey a person’s wishes to the courts. The consultancy arm works with residential, foster‑care, home‑care, older‑person and disability providers, designing bespoke quality‑assurance, risk‑management and systemic‑review frameworks, and delivering policy, regulatory and training advice to sustain service growth. As an expert witness, Ruadhan prepares detailed, defensible social‑work reports and gives evidence in High Court cases, fitness‑to‑practice inquiries and matters involving alleged negligence or breach of statutory duty.
