A digital strategy for Primary Care
A 'north star' strategy to align the delivery of digital projects and services, which places our Primary Care client in the vanguard of clinical informatics
The team at Seymour John have provided vital support to the ICS Finance programme in Greater Manchester. Their understanding of the national health and social care agenda, as well as local knowledge of our NHS organisations allowed them to quickly recruit a team that was operationally effective, and strategically and culturally compatible. I would happily partner with them again on any complex project that requires a combination of sector knowledge and expertise.
