Provider support

The NHS provider landscape is undergoing significant upheaval, with changes to the regulatory framework governing providers of healthcare services, increased competition with the expansion of the Any Willing Provider model, and the widening of patient choice. Against this background, your board needs to demonstrate effective leadership by formulating strategy, ensuring accountability and shaping a positive organisational culture.

The Capsticks Alliance works with existing and aspiring NHS foundation trusts to improve governance and support board development. We bring together all the expertise that you need to help you stay on top of the changes to the regulatory environment and move forward – whether you’re looking to achieve authorisation as an FT or to strengthen your position for a potential merger.

We know the provider market inside out

From rapid audits to full governance reviews, we test how robust your structures and processes are and work with you to develop an appropriate roadmap that ensures compliance with the Monitor code of governance. We also offer 1:1 coaching and interactive board development workshops to prepare your leadership to tackle the challenges ahead.
