Biography

Hannah Gibbs joined LSE Law School in 2023 as an Assistant Professor (Education), where she teaches medical law and family law. Prior to this position, she guest lectured in medical law at LSE from 2017, combining her academic role with her practice as a barrister specializing in public law and medical law. Gibbs has successfully represented clients in various jurisdictions, including the High Court and the Supreme Court. Notably, she was instructed in 2018 to represent 300 Core Participants in the ongoing Infected Blood Inquiry. She is also a co-author and co-editor of the practitioner text 'NHS Law Practice', which provides a comprehensive exploration of the complex legal structures within the modern National Health Service (NHS). The book elucidates the legal relationships between NHS commissioners and providers of primary, community, and acute care and offers detailed guidance on enforcing patients’ legal rights concerning NHS Continuing Healthcare and personal budgets. Her research interests lie at the intersection of medical law and ethics, focusing on health inequalities and the systemic structures that influence the delivery of health services and justice in cases of medical malpractice.
