In your sector

Health & Social Care

Change and transformation is a priority across NHS organisations, independent healthcare providers and charities providing frontline services.

Despite budgetary challenges, the opportunity is there to create innovative services that go further to improve people’s health.

Our health and social care practice works with forward-looking providers to deliver the sustainable change required – we have supported some of the most challenged health economies in the UK through highly-complex transformations.

Our consultants build long-lasting relationships with senior healthcare leaders. By truly understanding the challenges involved, we connect our clients with the best talent in the market.

In addition to single interim appointments and consultancy projects, we also build teams to deliver change and high-level transformations.

We work together with our clients and interim executives to ensure better outcomes, whether that’s the result of responding to regulatory change, or delivery of programmes to drive higher standards in patient care.

Helping you deliver better outcomes

Proven expertise

For nearly a decade, the NHS has experienced a significant decline in funding. At the same time, demand for services has rapidly grown. A fundamental shift is required to transform healthcare.

This transformation can’t succeed in isolation. The NHS needs to work collaboratively with partners, including local government, charities and independent care businesses.

Our experience

We have worked with the health and social care market for almost 20 years. We have built a deep understanding as well as a trusted network of senior individuals that have helped some of the UK’s most challenged health economies. We help you move your organisation forward.

The long-term plan marks a significant step forward in setting the NHS on a sustainable course for the next decade. One of the greatest risks to delivery is workforce shortages.
