"The model 10 year demand and supply model... provides a very useful evidence base to support the work programme to deliver more effective local career pathways into nursing. 
I would like to thank you for the extensive research, facilitation & analysis that you have undertaken"

"They showed that they understood the nuance of decision making in primary care and in medicine more generally, which does not always easily match the more binary processes of establishing pathways and contracts. For this reason, they established a high level of trust with the other clinicians... who worked with them."

Dr F B Coward, Clinical Lead for Planned Care

North West Surrey CCG

"... invaluable in the work across the BOB Integrated Care System as it formed. The system [needed] population-based workforce modelling to support workforce and education spend decisions. They developed the programme of work from the ground up and delivered on time and to cost."
