“This partnership will help our people team forge a strong, professional identity. We’ll become better equipped to offer everyone across the NHS a more personal, flexible working experience, in a team with the right skills, and in a culture that’s more inclusive and compassionate.”
Thomas Simons

NHS people professionals support a workforce of around 1.4 million people while preparing for major changes in work and healthcare. We are hugely privileged to work in partnership with the NHS to help them deliver their people plan, strengthen their strategic impact, and establish the NHS as an employer of choice.
