Our team are experienced qualitative/ quantitative researchers, evaluators and economists. They have extensive networks including academics working in specialist health and social care fields; private sector operators working in diagnostics or new health technologies and links to health and social care professional bodies.

Data analytics and health economics

Our expertise includes analytical modelling across health and care systems, which has supported key outcomes for healthcare organisations including improved evidenced based planning and decision making, and informed options and scenarios for alternative models as part of forward planning. Our methodology utilises a full range of qualitative measures and approaches alongside more quantitative modelling to ensure that insight from stakeholders is systematically captured, documented and built in at each stage of the process.

We have provided data analytics support to a range of clients in order to review population health needs, demand and capacity planning/ modelling and support. We have developed economic models to assess the cost-effectiveness and return on investment of healthcare interventions. We have significant experience in accessing and analysing data from health and care settings, including patients, primary, secondary, tertiary care and in delivering actionable insights. Data have been analysed to better understand the performance of health interventions on health outcomes and to gather evidence of the impact of initiatives.

Workforce research and transformation

We have worked for Local Authorities, healthcare systems, Private Healthcare organisations and Professional Bodies to review the supply and demand for health and social care skills and professions and to develop strategies to enhance workforce across a range of professions, supported by workforce modelling. We also evaluate programmes in the area of Workforce Transformation. This has involved quantitative, qualitative research and modelling, leaving clients with clear and actionable insights and recommendations.

Organisational development and transformation

We have worked for a range of clients across the public and private sectors, developing cases for change and supporting the implementations through developing stakeholder engagement plans; reviewing data; optimising processes; developing action plans and training and communications plans. We also specialise in knowledge transfer through active coaching and formative learning, ensuring our clients are equipped with the skills and expertise to support implementation once we complete.
