Credibility Cannot Be Faked!

In the healthcare market, trust is your currency. Whether you are an investment firm analysing a healthcare asset, a start-up building a clinical governance framework, or a provider bidding for an NHS contract, you need advice that stands up to scrutiny.

You don’t just need a consultant. You need a practicing clinician who understands the current reality of the front line, combined with the commercial sharpness of a board director.

We recruit the experts who bridge this divide. We connect organisations with senior clinicians who can audit services, design safe governance structures, and act as the “clinical conscience” of a commercial business.

We recruit for interim, ad-hoc, and permanent positions for private equity, med-tech, and private healthcare providers.

Our network covers:

  • Chief Medical / Clinical Officers (CMO/CCO)
    Board-level clinicians responsible for clinical strategy and patient safety across an organisation.
  • Clinical Governance Leads
    Experts in CQC regulatory standards, audit, and risk management frameworks.
  • Subject Matter Experts (SME)
    Niche specialists (e.g., a Consultant Anaesthetist or a Lead Physiotherapist) brought in to advise on specific projects or product development.
  • Bid & Tender Advisors
    Clinicians who assist commercial teams in writing winning, clinically accurate tenders for NHS contracts.
  • Clinical Educators & KOLs
    Respected figures used to represent brands, speak at conferences, and lead peer-to-peer education.

When hiring at this level, the stakes are incredibly high. Our vetting process focuses on professional standing and regulatory history.

Our vetting process can include, as required:

  • Regulatory History
    A deep-dive check into GMC, NMC, or HCPC history to ensuring there are no past or pending fitness to practice concerns.
  • Current Clinical Practice
    We verify that advisors are still clinically active (where required), ensuring their advice is current and evidence-based.
  • Commercial Conflict
    We assess potential conflicts of interest, ensuring the candidate can act independently.
  • Influence
    For KOL roles, we look at publication history, conference speaking experience, and peer reputation.

Whether you are looking for a fractional Chief Medical Officer role or ad-hoc consultancy days, we can connect you with businesses that need your specific expertise.

  • Private Equity & Venture Capital Firms
  • Digital Health Platforms
