Who you will be working with:
Reporting directly to the Managing Partner responsible for Healthcare analytics, you will be creating a team of Data Scientists and Product Developers who work together with our consulting teams to support clients.

Our consulting teams are hired directly from top universities or recruited from top tier management consulting firms and share a passion for improving health and care. A distinctive feature of our company is that our work is partner-led. This means that partners, who bring decades of experience in healthcare, are materially engaged in work with clients and teams, bringing empathy and judgement to the work of teams to tackle the hardest problems clients face.

The areas we work in include:
-Health system strengthening: understanding the current position of a health system with in-depth analysis to support improved outcomes and cost effectiveness through how the system (including leadership, funds flow, workforce, technology and delivery) works
-Integrated care delivery: taking a population health management approach to target specific segments of the population (based on detailed analysis of need, activity and cost) and then to develop better ways of meeting the needs of these groups, create teams to deliver care, and put in place the information, payment, performance and governance needed to achieve this
-Hospital restructuring: working with clinicians to apply a combination of clinical evidence and analysis in order to optimise how hospital care is structured across sites. This enables delivery of the best possible outcomes within the constraints of access, capacity and finance
-Improving Performance: supporting systems to understand and predict demand, capacity and performance in close to real time, develop concrete analytically-informed plans, and supporting sustained improvement
In all these areas we apply a common approach of--
-Integrating large datasets into our data warehouse
-Applying advanced techniques for descriptive and predictive analytics
-Visualising data in high-impact presentations
-Synthesising the analysis to create actionable insights
-Creating bespoke cloud-based tools, which allow clients to visualise and model data to aid effective decision-making
-Engaging with clients to understand the insights, agreed action, and sustain change
