Our Expertise

Whole pathway mental health service modelling has been the backbone of our work over the last decade. We have delivered numerous projects modelling capacity, flow and demand for individual trusts and whole systems covering the full breadth of services. This helps clients to deliver services which are:

  • Safer, ensuring early and local access to services for people needing it – reducing out of area treatments to an absolute minimum – and improving recovery to help people stay well.
  • Financially sustainable, making best use of the money and workforce available.
  • Effective, more responsive to patients’ preferences, and better able to handle future demand.

The analysis and interpretation of patient safety intelligence is also core to our skill set, combining the skills of our in-house analysts with clinical colleagues in other parts of the firm. We provide an intelligence led, and clinically-informed approach to the review of patient harms and key safety indicators at a speciality
(and individual consultant) level. This approach is used when an organisation has a:

  • Fundamental, internally generated concern, that it is not providing the best care possible, as encapsulated by recurring safety/harm issues, but is unable to understand why this is so.
  • Significant outlying position on one or a series of ‘harm indicators’ that the Trust or its commissioners / system are concerned about.
  • Desire to improve care further as part of its strategic agenda and is seeking a safety monitoring framework to do this within.
  • Formal requirement for investigation.
