Our expertise spans 3 main areas:

 

Intelligence services

• Analytical modeling tools
• VFM evaluations
• Strategic planning
• Performance improvement support and implementation

• Workforce planning, and
• Service strategies for GP Consortia and local authorities.

 

The recent addition of the core mental health team from the Audit Commission further strengthens our offering in the above areas.

Health and social care are complex - our work therefore combines the above areas to provide a complete solution to our clients.

• Capacity and scenario planning for service reconfigurations
• Memory assessment service development planning
• Acute care pathway redesign
• Estate cost reduction
• Sickness absence reduction
