NHS digital transformation

The NHS has ambitious plans for digital transformation. Connected digital health and care systems could transform patient care outcomes, but managing investment and roll-out alongside significant competing pressures is challenging.

We support clients across the digital transformation lifecycle from strategy to business case development, procurement and contracts, governance, implementation, business as usual support and service expansion.

Our team is well-placed to help you navigate these exciting but challenging projects, with extensive experience across the technology and health and care sectors. We act for a wide range of NHS and technology clients, so we understand both sides of the customer/supplier relationship and can support you in getting the best outcome, on time and at an acceptable level of risk.

Our expertise gained from decades of advising on digital projects within the NHS means we can help you make a success of any digital transformation project.

Our commercial outlook and market insight means we can help you optimise opportunities, navigate challenges and funding pressures for frontline digitisation programmes, and mitigate risk arising through the digital transformation lifecycle.
