We’re proud to be part of the NHS because we are dedicated to making the public purse go further, by supporting organisations to deliver change which will provide safe, high-quality, reliable care.

We deliver strategic transformation, by the NHS, for the NHS.

17th February 2022

The NHS Transformation Unit (TU) is a specialist internal NHS consultancy team, dedicated to transforming health and care. Since 2015, we’ve partnered with clients across the NHS to deliver major change programmes that improve care and outcomes for people and communities. We empower change from within – we are by the NHS, for the NHS.

Originally established through governance arrangements in Greater Manchester, the TU initially supported NHS organisations across the region. Since 2017, we’ve expanded our reach, supporting health and care systems across England and Wales, including national-level programmes.

We are a team of experienced transformation professionals who make complex change simple. Our consultancy services are tailored to the unique needs of each client and programme, grounded in deep NHS knowledge and practical delivery expertise.
