Grant Thornton

HFMA Corporate Partner

Grant Thornton is dedicated to providing value-added assurance and advisory services to public healthcare organisations. We recognise that NHS organisations face the challenge of balancing financial viability with the increasing demands of improving the quality of patient care. This is against a back-drop of tightening fiscal policy, rising public expectations, changing demographics, advances in medical technology, regulatory change and a continuing drive to achieve greater efficiency in the delivery of public services.

In this dynamic marketplace, our highly experienced healthcare sector team offers a comprehensive range of financial advisory and consultancy services. We pride ourselves on listening to our clients, working in an open and flexible manner and developing innovative, bespoke solutions to maximise efficiency and effectiveness.

Our team, which includes individuals who hold non-executive director posts at FTs, provide advice at all levels of the UK healthcare system to our clients including foundation trusts, NHS trusts, PCTs/provider arms and SHAs. We also provide consultancy services to regulatory bodies such as Monitor and the Department of Health. Our team members speak regularly at healthcare conferences and have a deep understanding of the regulatory and operating environment which enables us to provide robust and practical advice to our clients.

Our high-quality audit and assurance service is tailored to identify where improvements can be made to governance processes, the assurance framework and performance management, to help deliver value for money and move organisations towards best practice. We also provide a wide range of other financial advisory services including preparation for foundation trust status, business case reviews, performance improvement services, organisational and operational efficiency support, specialist corporate finance merger and due diligence expertise, as well as support on PFI/PPP projects and LIFT schemes.
