Commercial Health
The health and social care sector remains under great pressure to both generate efficiencies as well as adopt innovation, all while continuing to provide safe and high quality care. This means that informed, commercial decisions need to be made, often at pace, against a backdrop of complex frameworks, and within a highly regulated environment.
