Consultancy and advisory
Clinical judgement applied to the decisions that shape care
Independent advice for NHS organisations, care providers and healthcare businesses, grounded in fifteen years of frontline general practice and current CQC advisory work.

What I bring
I am a practising GP, not a consultant who has left clinical work behind. I have run a practice, been inspected, trained GPs and advised other practices on inspection readiness, so the advice is grounded in how primary care actually operates rather than how it is described in a strategy document.
That matters most where clinical reality and organisational ambition diverge: service redesign that looks sound on paper but collapses at the reception desk, or technology that works in a demo and fails in a consultation.

CQC inspection readiness reviews
A structured, fixed-fee review for GP practices and care providers: pre-visit evidence review, a mock inspection day with staff conversations, a risk-rated written report by quality statement, an action planning session with the manager, and a thirty-day follow-up. Most providers do not fail because their care is poor. They fail because they cannot evidence the care they already give.
Fees are quoted after a scoping call. No guarantee of any rating is offered or implied.

Working together
How I work
- Independent. I do not sell products as a condition of advice, and I disclose all commercial interests before an engagement begins.
- Limited capacity. Advisory work is held to two days a week, so engagements are sequenced rather than stacked.
- Plainly written. You get a written view with reasoning, not a slide deck of assertions.
- Confidential by default.
