Who We Are

Solutions for Healthcare

Our Expertise

We have years of experience within the Healthcare and Life Sciences sectors. We have worked with a wide range of healthcare providers, from large hospitals to small clinics, private specialist service providers to central Government, and we have developed a deep understanding of the challenges that each face.

Technology Platforms

From electronic health records to patient portals, discipline-specific applications to the cloud-based infrastructure that hosts them. We understand them, and the advantages and disadvantages they come with.

From Start to Finish

Our team draws on decades of expertise and experience in all the stages of successful digital programmes and projects. From the initiation phase, where getting the shape and governance is vital, through commercial and legal considerations to developing the strategies and business cases to support and drive the procurements and implementations, we have the skills and knowledge.

George The Dog

Business Development
Dog

James is a senior programme director and commercial consultant with 25 years’ experience leading complex, multi-workstream healthcare and digital transformation programmes across the NHS, public and private sectors. He combines hands-on delivery leadership with deep commercial and procurement expertise — authoring Strategic Outline Cases, Outline Business Cases and outcome-based specifications, directing major technology procurements, and rescuing programmes in delivery or legal jeopardy.

He is equally comfortable setting strategy, governance and business cases at Board and investment-committee level and driving delivery at pace in politically complex, high-scrutiny environments.

His experience spans the full lifecycle — strategy and business case development through procurement, transformation, transition and benefits realisation — including standing up the teams, governance and operating models that make delivery sustainable. He works effectively with everyone from clinicians and operational leaders to executives, national bodies and suppliers, with a consistent record of delivering large, complex programmes in both the public and private sectors.

Jennie is a business analyst and test manager with a strong track record across LIMS and wider healthcare technology programmes.

She combines detailed requirements and process analysis with hands-on test management to GMP standards, alongside earlier delivery and project leadership on major NHS implementations and digital programmes.

A thoughtful communicator and excellent listener who engages the right stakeholders across both technical and non-technical teams to deliver compliant solutions.

He has over 8 years’ experience in identifying and landing business opportunities and has introduced a number of clients across both health and other public sectors.
