Most organisations will only want to use external Consultants for specific purposes. The pressures on NHS, Local Authority voluntary and independent sector managers are growing and rapidly changing and there is often insufficient expertise and/or time to manage key projects. This is where we can help. If we can’t help directly we will do our best to recommend someone.

Below are some current organisational challenges which may be familiar to you – contact us if you think we can help – we are happy to offer an informal discussion at no cost to you.
 

Coping with new guidance from the Department of Health concerning health and social care

New rules, regulations and working arrangements abound. We can help you to deal with priority areas, project manage new developments and develop any require new working arrangements. Examples include developments related to the Darzi Review, personalisation, integrated working (commissioning and/or service provision).

Working together (especially across health, social care, education, housing, voluntary and independent sectors)

We can help you take advantage of new joint working opportunities by using recent legislation (e.g. section 75 partnerships, Care Trusts) or developing other ways to improve collaboration which will improve the quality of services. We’ll help you explore the need for such changes, implement change or evaluate recent changes. We have extensive experience of partnership working to provide comprehensive support in this area.

Enabling policy to be translated into good practice

Implementing and managing the change process is a critical part of ensuring services perform properly. We can provide transitional support, either to one or more organisations, through periods of change. The Consultancy Company’s strapline ‘Making Strategy Happen’ sums up our approach. We are focused on helping you deliver change at the front line. All our Consultants have extensive senior management experience in their chosen field and this is harnessed to help you achieve your goals.

Troubleshooting

If part of your organisation is dysfunctioning for some reason, we can help. This could be a service, a team of staff or a combination. We can provide solutions to your challenges, always working with staff to ensure sensitive resolution of problems. Individual support and mentoring can also be provided.

Ensuring services for vulnerable people are well managed and safe

We can evaluate services across health and social care organisations to make sure that they deliver value for money and provide proper and effective support to vulnerable people. Evaluations can also include financial and HR aspects to ensure a comprehensive evaluation can be provided.
