Healthcare

The radical changes in society, the economy, technology and the structural reform of the NHS mean that many healthcare organisations are at a crossroads in their development. They face critical decisions in order to be sustainable, such as whether to invest or divest; or to merge, partner or stand-alone. These decisions are in addition to the day-to-day pressures on services and demands from patients, regulators and clinical standards bodies.
