PASSION INSIGHT COMMITMENT IMPACT
Passionate about People, Performance & Health
That’s who we are and what we do. Based on our core value of being passionate about what we do and where we do it, you’ll find the whole team absolutely committed to helping each and every person or organisation that entrusts us with an element (or all) of their development pathway. We feel it’s an honour to be trusted and we’re passionate about getting it right.
Medicology is passionate about performance in people and synonymous with creating high performance in teams and individuals in the modern healthcare environment. We are the largest provider of open courses in leadership & management specifically for healthcare professionals and renowned for successfully engaging clinical teams. We have a thriving bespoke (in-house) training service and a growing role in consulting in people-related healthcare challenges. We are especially renowned for our deep understanding of the current healthcare agenda and our ability to move the minds of even the strongest senior clinician.
We specialise in helping organisations to:
- Develop leadership potential so that it contributes to effective performance
- Smarten up services in light of the modern healthcare agenda and competitive market
- Increase management capability to more effectively drive people, projects & performance
- Improve effectiveness in organisational change
- Resolve conflict and engagement challenges
- Create a bedrock of proactive collaboration through clinical/managerial teams
- Install behavioural flexibility in individuals, along with a more open mindset
- Create high performance, harmonious and respectful team environments
- Motivate and inspire people to truly deliver for the organisation
- Re-install passion where passion has waned
Our team consists of a small number of passionate individuals with strong healthcare or public sector backgrounds coupled to a modern market mindset. With a strong clinical heritage, collectively we have well over 100 years experience in leadership and management specifically related to the healthcare environment, including both the business and clinical side, both within the health service and in industry. It means we know what we’re doing and can be trusted to assist you in enabling your people.
The slightly less interesting but highly factual bits are:
- We train over 3,000+ individuals per annum and it is consistently growing
- We have the most extensive programme of healthcare-orientated open courses there is
- We work almost entirely for the NHS and a little for related healthcare industries
- We are trusted by significant healthcare organisations including NHS London & Welsh Assembly
- We have true depth of understanding in the modern healthcare agenda and challenges
The evolving healthcare landscape is demanding, competitive, increasingly financially challenged (read famine...) and very unforgiving to the ill-prepared organisation or service. Services survive and thrive by being effective across what we call the 6 Core Components of Clinical Business Excellence, requiring a proactive, collaborative and well-founded approach to healthcare based on genuine knowledge and insight. Besides having a range of programmes specifically designed to deliver excellence in each of the 6 core areas (below), the principles of clinical business excellence are embedded into every Medicology programme.
- Clinical Effectiveness (encompassing Leadership, Governance & Improvement)
- Financial Effectiveness (including Cost Improvement)
- Attraction Effectiveness (including Marketing, PR & Referral Influencing)
- People Effectiveness (including Leadership, Management, Team Working, Workforce Re-design, Motivation & Morale)
- Patient Experience (including assessment & improvement)
- Strategic Effectiveness (encompassing Service Reform & Strategic Evolution)
We Move Towards
- Driving performance
- Taking responsibility for our performance
- Delivering exceptional customer service
- Being innovative
- Being cheerful in the face of all situations
- Achieving the impossible or unlikely
- Always asking "Why not?"
- Open communication
We Move Away From

The training team consists of a number of committed individuals that have broadly seen it all. Collectively we have about 100 years experience in management, leadership and other commercial/ healthcare roles. We bring that expertise to Medicology in a flexible, open-minded way. Each person has their own specialties.
