Consultancy with a Difference

We pride ourselves on delivering consultancy with a difference, focusing on solutions that are practical to the organisation we are working with. PCMS understands that all organisations are continually challenged by change, this is usually from either micro or macro-environmental factors, affecting all stakeholders.

Selection of Suitable Option

There is a requirement to determine the strategy of the organisation, define a set of objectives and ensure the strategic plan is aligned to the objectives of the practice through corporate analysis and strategic choice, that is evaluating the options and deciding upon the most suitable option before the implementation phase.

Innovative Developments

PCMS provide realignment for practices using an intended change strategy (Mintzberg, 1978), which is a detailed plan for achieving the desired strategic change(s), providing on-going support to help practices overcome resistance to change; which is a significant contributing factor to the failure of any change initiative.

Areas of Work

We are approved associates of the Londonwide Local Medical Committee through their subsidiary - Londonwide Enterprise Limited and are an approved organisation for general practice development work on the (previous) National Clinical Assessment Services Back on Track Directory.

Scunthorpe Surgery

A PCMS consultant went to assess and investigate a Scunthorpe GP Practice as to what improvements could be made to the overall running of the surgery. PCMS identified nine areas as high impact areas of focus and attention: Management (inc processes) Partners / Partnership, Workload, Staff Capability, Triage, Rota, Complaints, Staff Morale and Communication. This invaluable insight of identifying specific areas to improve allowed the practice to make a strategic plan on how to move forward and better the overall running of the Surgery.
