The ‘Liberating the NHS’ white paper provides the vision for the future. How this is going to be implemented effectively during the transition period is where Quadrant comes in – using our expertise in supporting change management, allied to in-depth experience of the NHS and healthcare generally.

Two specific examples of where our services can be most valuable are:

GP commissioning consortia
In effect organisational start-ups, these consortia will need significant support in areas such as setting up an enterprise, commissioning services and suppliers, and establishing a legal framework for governance and operations. As there isn’t a ‘right answer’, Quadrant can help consortia evaluate the options and put in place the right structure for their area.

Healthcare providers
The emphasis on stimulating competition between healthcare providers in the recent whitepaper will change the landscape significantly. Foundation Trusts will need to market themselves effectively to GPs, covering criteria such as capabilities, facilities, price, reputation, and services. Quadrant can help Trusts in engaging and profiling the GPs in their area, and developing an effective strategy, proposition and communications programme.
