Lifecycle Approach
A proven approach, delivering whole-life transformation of diagnostic services.
Discover
Every project starts with a clear plan, and we like to tailor-make plans specific to your service. We make certain the plan is based on your data and circumstances. We’ve learned that unless we discover what is actually happening – metrics, costs, performance, problems – any plan won’t deliver on expectations and won’t last the course. So, if you work with us, expect us to ask lots of questions! We’ll use your data to build a true picture, develop a personalised plan to improve your diagnostic service.
Design
Every NHS diagnostics team wants to deliver a high-quality service that can meet the needs of its population whilst remaining within budget. It’s a tough ask, particularly when demand is continually increasing. We have more than a decade’s experience in transforming diagnostic services, so they not only hit this target, but future-proof services for years to come. We’re the leading Diagnostics transformation team in the UK and you can trust us to deliver.
Deliver
Our team have assisted our clients in procuring diagnostic service contracts in order to provide improved and cost-efficient services. However, unless these contracts are managed effectively, the potential value can be lost. It’s why we put so much effort into putting in place effective mechanisms for managing these contacts throughout their life. With more than 5,000 NHS contracts under management, we know how to ensure you get the most out of your contract.

South East London Pathology Programme Procurement
David Lawson
Director of Procurement at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust
“Pathology has been an ongoing programme for NHS England with limited success being achieved in the last 10 years. In 2016, Chris and his team were instrumental in the design and initiation of launching the new 29 Pathology networks. This project has injected much needed pace in our consolidation efforts and is making great progress nationally.”
NHS England and NHS Improvement
David Wells
CEO – IBMS
“When selecting our preferred pathology partner, Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust was faced with the unique challenge of having to decide between different NHS network options outside our local care system and a local private provider. Chris’ unique understanding of Pathology laboratories, the London Pathology market and the NHSI national consolidation programme, helped us navigate through this difficult decision-making process. The highly commended work completed by him and his team has led to us “
