When deadlines are tight and the workload is heavy, choosing a large consulting firm can seem like the obvious route. But while major firms often deploy highly productive teams, they can lack lived experience — especially in specialised sectors like healthcare.

At St.Vincent’s, our advisors are seasoned NHS and supplier leaders who have been there and done it. They bring the peer-level insight needed to navigate complex digital change while supporting and coaching client teams along the way. Because we operate without the heavy overheads of larger firms, we can deliver targeted, high-quality services with agility and at reasonable rates.

“We saw a complete turnaround from delay and doubt to confidence and delivery. The level of assurance and strategic insight brought in by St.Vincent’s was invaluable.”
— Salma Yasmeen, CEO, Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust

Our clients also value that we think beyond go-live — helping them build sustainable systems and long-term capability.

“St.Vincent’s support helped us not just to go-live, but to think ahead about how to maintain and build on the system we’ve implemented.”
— Phil Holland, CIO, Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust

For those seeking more than just task completion — who want mentorship, thought leadership and forward-thinking strategies rooted in real-world experience — we provide genuine value.

Our Luminary advisors bring deep, peer-level experience from senior leadership roles across the NHS and supplier landscape. They’ve led complex digital programmes at the highest levels and know first-hand the challenges of balancing delivery against relentless operational pressures.

They’re not just experts — they’re people with personality, integrity and a genuine passion for making a difference. Known for their collaborative approach, our advisors embed themselves within teams, building trust quickly and creating the confidence needed to move programmes forward.

In previous engagements, our Luminaries have:

• Stabilised programmes that were at risk of stalling and rebuilt delivery momentum
• Strengthened governance and assurance to give boards confidence
• Accelerated EPR implementations such as RiO and Cerner Millennium by tackling blockers head-on
• Built internal capability so client teams can sustain and evolve systems beyond go-live

Ultimately, we provide more than just a service — we offer a collaborative partnership that blends coaching, mentorship and strategic insight.

Our lean, agile structure means we can respond quickly and effectively, delivering targeted support without the overheads of larger firms.

Choose St. Vincent’s for a consultancy experience defined by our values of quality, integrity, value and empathy — and for advisors who have truly been in your shoes.
