Healthcare 

The Government’s healthcare agenda has created unprecedented challenges for NHS organisations. The £20billion efficiency conundrum requires rapid cost reduction and structural reform at the same time as the need to improve quality, performance and productivity.

 

KPMG’s global network of practitioners, spanning 150 countries, understand the healthcare sector from the inside. We are committed to supporting the NHS as it rises to the challenge and delivers sustainable solutions for the future. In recent years we have supported the Department of Health and Strategic Health Authorities, as well as commissioners, providers and suppliers of healthcare. We work closely with private healthcare organisations to drive efficiency and create effective business solutions.

 

We are experienced in managing today’s complexity and offer practical solutions to design and implement innovative strategies. Our comprehensive approach will help to transform the way care is delivered and focus on what matters most – quality and efficiency.

Taking the Pulse: A global study of healthcare mergers

Mergers in healthcare are unlike those in any other industry.

In this report, we provide a clear set of considerations for those who are evaluating or approaching a merger in healthcare.

 

Effective Commissioning – today and tomorrow

Clinical commissioning represents one of the most radical reforms in the history of the NHS. Clinical Commissioning Groups will be responsible for commissioning up to £70 billion of healthcare. Over the next 18 months, GPs need to change from the equivalent of running a cornershop to managing a superstore. KPMG is supporting clinical commissioners to take the lead and deliver the results that matter.
