Case studies
“Our goal with this project was to make the data simple and interesting to view, so that policymakers, members of the public and other interested groups can understand more about the breadth and depth of the sector’s contribution to the UK’s economy and health systems. It has been brilliant working with the CF team on the Pharma Impact Map and we are looking forward to developing version two later in the year”
“We are incredibly grateful to CF for delivering an outstanding programme of work, including a series of insightful webinars on Service Change and reconfiguration for NHS staff. Their expertise and engaging approach significantly enhanced participants’ knowledge and confidence, equipping them with the skills needed to navigate complex challenges”.
“CF engaged with myself, my fellow Executives, and our clinical and operational teams over three months: their ability to work collaboratively with and manage a wide range of stakeholders was impressive. Our Trust has the most people waiting of any Trust in the country and CF’s insight and expertise into the clinical and operational requirements allowed us to implement pragmatic solutions at pace, treat more patients faster and ensure that changes were sustained. The team rapidly analysed data and information, shared it transparently and added insight and expertise, providing constructive challenge to support us in making informed choices about how to provide the better planned treatment for our patients. I would highly recommend CF as trusted partners for the NHS and would not hesitate to work with them again.”
“Around one million people are living with dementia and it’s the UK’s biggest killer. We commissioned one of the largest UK studies on the economic impact of dementia with CF. Their research has been instrumental in setting out an urgent case for change to prioritise dementia in health policy. By setting out the scale of challenge and the consequences of inaction, it has the potential to help transform the lives of people living with dementia by influencing key policy changes. The report has been well received by the sector, starting important conversations.”
“ICE has really allowed Surrey Downs Health & Care to think about our performance and future priorities in a different way. The user-friendly interface and ability to quickly benchmark and monitor our own performance against peers enables us to contextualise our more challenged areas of delivery much more effectively. It gives us confidence that we are making decisions with a data-driven approach and greater objectivity. There’s also a lot of flexibility to the tool – the team at CF have also been able to add new indicators, and whole new data sources, to help us target specific areas. Using CF’s expertise, and the power of ICE, allows us to concentrate on the decision-making.”
“We commissioned Carnall Farrar (CF) to support us in the development of a recovery plan. The CF team brought relevant expertise and integrated well with our staff. They identified challenges and practical solutions based on knowledge of how the system works and best practice to effect change…. I thought you’d like to know that we are going to exceed our £1.25M deficit plan and break even. Thanks so much to your team who helped us at the beginning of a very tough journey!”
