Our approach

We have unrivalled experience in the development and management of doctors and healthcare organisations. We have a track record of critical interventions that produce and sustain performance improvement. We achieve this by:

• Practical approaches that take full account of your needs and situation and the sensitivities surrounding it;
• Emphasis on accurate diagnosis of performance issues;
• Interventions formed with psychological rigour and from a strong and growing evidence base;
• Unique insights into the medical profession and in-depth understanding of the NHS;
• Powerful coaching, facilitation and training methods that promote positive change.

We have a reputation for taking on and succeeding with the toughest of assignments, sometimes when all else has failed, more damage done, expense incurred and time lost.

Our philosophy and purpose

Creating the conditions that allow people and organisations to thrive, helping individuals and teams to adapt and grow is what we do best.

We recognise the vital roles that clinicians and managers have in delivering high quality patient care. Harnessing their passion, their vision, their ingenuity, their knowledge and skills into one organisation; working together, energising, inspiring and enabling them to do their best is how they thrive and so in turn does the organisation.

When you consider the many challenges facing NHS organisations and clinicians, the sometimes deep- rooted issues of culture and values, the extreme levels of external scrutiny together with the significant changes to the medical profession in recent years, it is no surprise that some may find it a difficult climate in which to thrive.

Using only proven techniques, and with a basis in organisational and occupational psychology, we work with our clients at three levels: the individual doctor, multi professional teams and the organisation.

Challenge and support

We strive to be simultaneously supportive and challenging in our client work and with each other. This is how we build highly effective relationships. We value integrity, discretion, teamwork and excellence and deliver these in every client assignment. That is what you can expect from Edgecumbe, at the very least.
