WHERE WE FOCUS
We help the NHS solve its biggest challenges.
We work closely with NHS organisations to deliver jointly staffed functions which support service transformation and deliver financial sustainability, minimising the need to make tough and unpopular cuts to front line services
We deliver the following functions in multi-year partnerships with our customers:
- Procurement and contract management – delivering procurement, spend analysis, market management, and contract management functions in partnership with our clients to save the NHS money, improve service quality, and ensure high levels of regulatory compliance.
- Programme delivery – providing hands-on delivery capability for large scale, multi-year capital, revenue, and cost improvement programmes. We utilise robust PMO approaches to deliver well-managed programmes that drive sustained transformation and achieve their intended service, quality, and financial benefits.
- Healthcare analytics and intelligence – turning healthcare data into actionable insight, supporting the NHS to deliver value-based healthcare by shaping population health strategy, redesigning pathways, and supporting system-wide improvement through better service planning. Our team provides a seamless link between data, decisions, and outcomes.
Working in multi-year partnerships, we take shared responsibility and accountability for collective outcomes. We bring hands-on delivery capacity, operational insight, and technical expertise to help our clients deliver national policy objectives and drive cost improvement ambitions, all while maintaining quality, compliance, and continuity.
We bridge the gap between digital solutions and operational impact, working with NHS teams to use technology to have greater measurable improvement for staff, patients, and carers
Many digital suppliers focus on delivery up to system go-live providing new capability, but leave the challenge of adoption and benefit realisation to NHS teams. At Attain, we use our NHS knowledge and experience to work with local teams to make the most of the new technology. Our support is before and beyond implementation so that staff and patients understand how technology will change the way they deliver and interact with healthcare. This means enabling optimisation, integration, and data-driven decision-making that sustain value and transform care.
We translate digital functionality into operational impact, embedding new ways of working, building confidence, and ensuring the technology truly delivers on its promise within the NHS.
We help the NHS and its partners make neighbourhood health a reality by shifting care from hospitals and into the community
We work with systems, place partnerships, and system integrators to:
- Establish neighbourhood health centres – building on our successful track record of implementing Community Diagnostic Centres and Frailty Hubs by supporting our clients to secure funding, develop service models, and mobilise physical centres.
- Develop neighbourhood service models – building on our experience of embedding care closer to home and strengthening community-based services to develop new models of care that are preventative, proactive, and person centred.
- Build an evidence base – through left shift modelling, using advanced analytics to model demand, capacity, and the impact of shifting care from hospital to community and build the case for change.
- Commission new services – aligning commissioning strategies and commercial models with integrated care objectives to ensure value and sustainability.
We combine our clinical and operational, analytical, and commercial capabilities with 15 years of experience in developing community-based care to deliver neighbourhood health, underpinned by programme and change management capability to make it a reality in practice.
We support systems and place partnerships to tackle economic inactivity by mobilising employment-focused health support as part of the government’s Get Britain Working policy

- Accelerating readiness for national policy requirements by engaging with local teams to develop a work and health support model
