The NHS continues to face complex challenges around performance, workforce, patient experience and service sustainability. Achieving lasting change often requires fresh insight, external expertise and close collaboration, particularly when navigating cultural, financial or operational constraints.
Consultancies play a critical role in supporting the NHS to think differently, act at pace and deliver improvements that benefit patients, staff and systems. Whether shaping strategy, redesigning pathways, improving engagement or supporting digital transformation, strong partnerships between consultancies and NHS organisations are helping to turn ideas into impact.
Judges will be looking for consultancy-led projects that have delivered measurable improvements through joint working. These might include redesigns of care or treatment pathways, new operating models, workforce or culture programmes, or targeted support to solve specific performance issues. Entries must show clear purpose, collaborative delivery and real-world results.
