Interim NHS, Health & Social Care Management

For nearly a decade, the NHS has experienced a significant decline in funding. At the same time, demand for services has rapidly increased. A fundamental shift is required to transform healthcare and support the NHS in delivering the long-term plan.

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

The UK is too diverse for a ‘one size fits all’ care model to apply, we connect NHS providers and commissioners to experienced interim leaders who can deliver local-level change and transformation leading to better patient care.

We’ll deploy relevant expertise into your organisation quickly. Whatever your challenge we can help - whether it’s single interim appointments, consultancy projects or building blended teams of high-performing professionals.
