Community healthcare

Cordis Bright provides research and consultancy services across the full spectrum of community healthcare, adult and children's social care and supported living services, and have many years of experience in both the statutory and independent sectors.

We offer a valuable perspective of the overlaps between a PCT's statutory duty to improve health of the population and a local authority's statutory responsibility for the wellbeing of the population.

We are uniquely placed to help clients identify overlaps in strategy, commissioning and service delivery. In turn, we are able to offer practical support to strengthen joint working, improve front line services and deliver cashable efficiencies.

Our consultancy and research methodologies have been developed specifically for this sector and we have an absolute commitment to delivering work which is grounded in experience and reality, and advice which our clients can implement in practice.

• Improve the breadth, depth and sophistication of forecasting and needs analysis
• Listen to and include adults in "hard-to-reach" groups in the planning of services
• Increase public access to information and advice about community services
• Design person-centred care pathways across statutory and organisational boundaries
• Accommodate diversity and personal choice within the community services system
• Ensure that adults in receipt of services are safe and free from threat of abuse
• Improve commissioning practice and develop sustainable local markets
• Meet increasing demand for services within tightening fiscal constraints
• Work in partnership with statutory and non-statutory partners to deliver local targets
• Prepare for and respond to formal inspection processes

For Provider Services we can assist in:

• Developing structures and governance in preparation for independent provision
• Developing sustainable cost structures and pricing
• Developing new services and new market opportunities
• Transforming organisational structures, job roles and ways of working
• Turning round services that are failing to meet the requirements of the new community contract
