A completely new service which manages and delivers vital support to front line clinical teams in the patient space.
An individually designed managed service that :

- Tailor made by location, and monitored to produce service improvements, cultural changes and cost savings
- At the end of the pilot period the service is taken back in house with all benefits embedded for the future.
