We deploy around 70 different associates each year, throughout the UK and with expertise tailored to assignment
All associates occupy NHS roles so our insights are hard to beat for their authenticity, contemporary accuracy and practical application. If you’re interested in being an associate then click here
We don’t do abstract theory, bizarre concepts or diagrams that baffle. Instead we work alongside doctors, nurses, pharmacists and practice managers every day to improve health care. We understand what policy means in practice for our clients. Therefore we can help those developing innovative medicines, medical technology and software to better understand their customers and contribute increased value to the NHS
