Todays White Paper - Liberating the NHS

Scott McKenzie Consultancy is an independent, national company, widely recognised as a specialist provider of support with all aspects of delivering change within the NHS.

Our work is mainly focused upon Commissioning, and we are already working with the consortia we support to deliver the White Paper transition in to GP Commissioning.

The transition needs to deliver strong commissioning entities, underpinned by driving up quality and reducing costs.

Services Include:

➢Legal entity formation

➢Strategy development

➢Strategy implementation

➢Pathway and service redesign

➢Data analysis and management

➢Budgets and finance management

➢Training, education and consortium development

➢Up-skilling personnel for new roles

➢Change management

➢Coaching and mentoring

We focus on developing a partnership between Healthcare Professionals. We also provide considerable support to PCTs and envisage a collaborative approach; where appropriate bringing existing PCT staff to consortia.

We avoid just ticking boxes and start to deliver meaningful outcomes using all the levers and incentives available. Our services cover the development of legal entities for both Commissioning and Providing services.

Each aspect of the work is built around the five key drivers;

➢improving health and reducing health inequalities

➢improving the quality of service offered to patients

➢improving equity of the services available

➢improving the health, wellbeing and overall outcomes achieved by patients

➢embracing the principles of cost effectiveness and improving value for money

Our emphasis is outcomes and moving forward. We have a practical approach in which consortium can quickly progress to delivering business cases for new pathways; all based on data analysis tied to the available skill set. With the NHS now requiring unprecedented levels of efficiency in the next three financial years SMC has developed systems and process to ensure consortia can achieve what is required.

At Scott McKenzie Consultancy Ltd we have a straightforward process for driving change in the current climate, built upon our experience in, building and developing over 50 Commissioning Groups whilst working with many PCTs. Our work is currently recommended by the National Association of Primary Care where Scott is an elected member of the NAPC Council.
