Teneo’s NHS practice has deep expertise in organisational and system design, clinical and population health strategy and delivering major service change.
We offer strategic advice to Trusts and Foundation Trusts, Integrated Care Systems, Integrated Care Boards and other systems and bodies across the NHS.
The introduction of the 2022 Health and Care Act represents the most significant reorganisation of the NHS in ten years and its implementation has coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic recovery and industrial action on an unprecedented scale. When combined with chronic workforce shortages, significant operational pressures and the need to transform the model of care in order to shift resources upstream, the sheer scale of the challenge facing the NHS is clear.
Our dedicated team of expert health consultants help NHS organisations address these challenges. Our clients cover NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts, Integrated Care Boards and other NHS bodies such as NHS England. Our team are increasingly commissioned by multiple organisations/whole systems in recognition of the fact that the challenges facing the NHS cannot be solved by one organisation working alone.
2023 UK Economic and Consumer Outlook
The UK narrowly avoided recession in 2022, and the most recent forecasts suggest low/stagnant growth, with the UK ultimately avoiding a technical recession that appeared inevitable in November when the country was still reeling from the impact of the previous Government's "mini budget." While inflation is forecast to fall, we… Read More
U.S. Economic Outlook 2023: A ‘Soft Landing’ or ‘Deep Recession’
The U.S. economy is currently experiencing levels of inflation that have not been seen in 40 years.

UK Independent Hospitals: The Next Challenge
The UK private healthcare market has seen a rebound in 2021 and 2022 post-Covid-19, driven in part by a surge in self-pay patients. A record number of people are opting to pay for their treatment privately to avoid long wait times in the NHS and access the quality and expertise… Read MoreWe understand that organisational and system design in the NHS needs to be an outcomes-led process. By focusing on what you want to achieve and utilizing a ‘form follows function’ approach, we create tailored solutions delivering best-in-class outcomes.
Our experience gives us a unique appreciation of the intricacies and complexities of designing new structures within the governance, accountability and regulatory frameworks of the NHS, the legislation and guidance surrounding the introduction of the 2022 Health and Care Act, as well as the relationship between the NHS and its key partners such as local government and academia.
Our experience covers both single and multi-organisation settings, including:
The policy emphasis within the NHS is rightly turning to the development of population health strategies, focusing on shifting resources upstream to deliver prevention, early intervention and to tackle health inequalities. However, clear strategies for the delivery of individual clinical services are still critical, and it is more important than ever that these are approached at a multi-organisation level and delivered through the lens of the broader population health strategy.
We can support the full spectrum, from the development of plans for individual clinical services through to the development of population health strategies for whole systems. Critical to our approach is our ability to convene leaders and senior clinicians to build consensus as an honest broker and experienced advisor. Professor John Deanfield CBE, Teneo’s Senior Healthcare Advisor, can support this process as an experienced clinical leader and a globally renowned expert in preventative medicine.
Major service change, although often politically unpopular, is a necessary component of improving the safety, effectiveness and efficiency of clinical services across the NHS. We support commissioners and providers to deliver major service changes through:
This paper focusses on the role of providers of acute, specialist and mental health services acting through “provider collaboratives” in the emerging ICS landscape. Providers face a particular challenge because they will be expected to join up services both within places (for example, by collaborating with primary, community and social…
Sir David Dalton discusses with Ed Matthews his views on the impact of COVID-19 on the NHS. A lot has been asked of the NHS – it has risen to the challenge of Phase 1 of the crisis and in so doing it has revealed fragilities; and yet so much…
The Challenges Facing NHS Providers NHS Trusts and FTs were designed to be the ‘delivery units’ of the NHS provider sector and, in particular, FTs were designed to be autonomous and competing organisations. Yet this approach has created inefficiencies, unwarranted variation and forced organisations to make decisions out of organisational…
