Since 2007, guidelines have banned hospitals from accepting adverts from lawyers, classing them alongside adverts for tobacco or alcohol. But trusts are often tempted by the financial incentive.

BOE says it operates at 170 hospitals and claims to have produced £9.2 million of savings for the NHS, including £1.3 million in cash payments in the past decade. The company has also provided new medical uniforms, digital whiteboards and competency assessment manuals for trusts.
