A specialist research and evaluation consultancy
We excel at working at the interface of health, academia and industry
Agile, ambitious and impactful
We’re a full stack research and evaluation consultancy with deep, end-to-end expertise
Evidence synthesis
Robust and rapid evidence synthesis via scoping and systematic reviews. We’re always keen to challenge dogma and find evidence gaps and understand how they can be filled. We boost our evidence gathering with the aggressive use of AI technologies
Methodology and design
Designing robust, creative and innovative approaches to answer the questions that actually need answering. We pride ourselves on cherry-picking the best parts of different research methods to set up and succeed in any project: quant, qual, mixed methods and meta-research
Advanced analytics
Our team has extensive experience with epidemiology, RWE, machine learning, predictive modelling and causal inference. Previous work spans national linked healthcare datasets, biobanks, multi-national registries and institutional cohorts
Writing and dissemination
Our team has 70+ peer-reviewed scientific publications plus experience reporting into national advisory bodies, writing multiple academic blogs, coding dashboards and recording podcasts. Audience and storytelling are key and we always strive for efficiency and clarity
Impactful evaluation
Rigorous evaluations (formative, process, outcome, impact) to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of programs, policies, and initiatives. We identify "what works, why, and for whom," fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
Health economics
‘Statistical significance’ can’t always portend what real-world impacts could be at scale. We develop bespoke cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness and microsimulation models to assess and understand implications of new policies and innovations.
Why us?
We’re all about delivering outputs that change how your organisation operates. Bridging the boundaries of medicine, data science, academia and industry, we bring the best of each to build strategic solutions that get buy-in from complex stakeholder landscapes and get done well. We’re absolutely ruthless about the quality and speed of delivery. As an agile SME with a network of leading experts from the world’s top universities, we offer exceptional value and responsiveness, allowing us to deliver impactful results efficiently.
What we offer
Our full-stack model means we can provide end-to-end support, from initial conceptualisation to dissemination and post-implementation, building custom research frameworks and analytical tools as needed. We integrate seamlessly with your team, acting as an extension of your capabilities. We offer a singular, dedicated partner for your entire research and evaluation journey, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and a truly customised quality solution without the need to manage multiple vendors.
Don’t need the full stack? Whether it’s a methodological workshop, a specific writing engagement, or you just need a specific analysis done well, we’re always open to collaborating on projects that matter.
