NHS trusts are now facing challenges that cannot be overcome without joint working. The impact and success or failure of NHS mergers and acquisitions has been a key topic of conversation for several years.

Our experience is that, in the right circumstances, they remain an effective way to improve value-for-money and deliver service improvements - so long as the right approach is taken to planning and implementing them.

Our people are some of the most experienced in the market and they've been involved in many of the significant NHS mergers in recent years from start to finish.
