The UK Government’s white paper, “Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS”, will create far reaching changes for the NHS. Mace has the skills to support General Practice through these reforms, building on its solid foundations to deliver service improvements.
Health and Social Care
-
Mace offers strategic consultancy and traditional property services to the health and social care sector.
Achieving positive health outcomes depends on many factors, from developing suitable and sustainable facilities through to designing efficient care pathways. Ensuring both value for money and efficient service delivery in a time of constrained public spending is a major driver for the development of creative solutions. Uniquely, Mace is able to provide a complete service from strategic policy and business case development to clinical planning and delivery of world class healthcare environments via our strategic consultancy and project management service offers.
Facilities and services that drive real health improvements
Mace has extensive experience supporting the NHS and the wider health and social care sector to deliver strategic services, organisational development and capital estates programmes. We have worked directly with the Department of Health on a number of schemes, including business case development, helping GPs to procure services in new Equitable Access Centres, managing the delivery of Spire Healthcare's Shawfair Park Hospital, and ensuring that health and social care facilities are compliant with Care Quality Commission registration requirements.
With a focus on achieving better health outcomes, we endeavour to improve the quality of service delivery in accessible world-class facilities, ensure value for money, and provide deliverable solutions that meet our clients' bespoke requirements. Our experience is supported by the fact that we're the only UK project management company with experience of delivery on all 3 major NHS Frameworks: P21 (England), Designed for Life: Building for Wales, and Health Facilities Scotland.
Services to improve every area of health delivery
Our team combines doctors, nurses, social care professionals and NHS estates experts, all of whom understand every aspect of service delivery and facility requirements. We assist health organisations and companies with their estates, facilities and capital developments, help define and clarify the most effective health services, and assist in the achievement of world class healthcare delivery. We can also assist with organisational development and change management.
Strategic healthcare consultancy
Mace’s methods are embedded in a hybrid of strategic health consultancy and project management. We programme and structure our projects to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery, and also ensure that every task is approached in a comprehensive, detailed way which complies with the latest professional body recommendations, best practice and statutory guidance.
Our consultant team consists of (medical) doctors, nursing, public health, health management, ex-Healthcare Commission staff and health estates specialists with an unequalled depth of understanding of the clinical, commercial and organisational issues confronting the NHS.
