Healthcare Communications

Navigating the new health policy environment and its complex world of new institutions, operational pressures and political influences can be a daunting task. With the NHS never far from the headlines, our dedicated team of healthcare communications consultants can advise you on how to successfully interact with a diverse range of stakeholders - in Westminster, Whitehall, the reformed NHS, across the patient group community and in the private sector – to help achieve your goals.

We can assess the risks and opportunities facing your organisation – planning and executing communications activity that achieves the right level of impact on the issues that really matter. Skilled in providing insight, political advice and in developing creative and compelling campaigns, our team can:

  • Provide detailed insight on the new healthcare landscape, including advice on the NHS and public health structures that will impact your operations
  • Help you build relationships with influencers at a national level – including those at the National Commissioning Board, Public Health England, the Department of Health and with political stakeholders in both government and opposition
