The Balance of Care Group - at a glance

We are a network of highly experienced independent consultants with skills and expertise in analytical, medical, social care, financial, training and research disciplines.

The Group has been at the forefront of developing and applying whole systems techniques across a wide range of client groups and health care settings – particularly in the field of health and social care services for older people.

Our work focuses on using whole system approaches to planning health and social care. This has given us extensive experience of working with all care professional groups across diverse organisational settings, and employing analyses and modelling of data and information to support local decision making processes.

Our clients include national and local organisations in the UK and overseas, and we have also undertaken projects for the European Commission, WHO and the World Bank.

What's New

We were appointed by the National Audit Office to undertake a case study across Lincolnshire, to see where patients with dementia are currently located in both acute and non-acute hospital beds. The analysis explores the potential for alternative care settings across the local whole system of health and social care for people with dementia. Our work forms an important component of the NAO main report [download here] with our own, detailed, report also available to download from the NAO website or from here.

The Health Service Executive in Ireland appointed PA Consulting (Ireland) and the Balance of Care Group to lead a major survey of bed usage of all 32 acute hospitals across the country. Both full and summary versions of the report and the technical appendices can be downloaded from the HSE website

The Group has undertaken several audits of  short stay admissions to A&E and Medical Assessment Units, to assess the potential for alternative approaches to care delivery, and the implications under Payment by Results. Recently projects have been undertaken in a number of south coast hospitals.
