Our clients are diverse, ranging from small charities to global pharmaceutical companies, but they are united by the shared aim of improving the lives of patients and populations.

The broad scope of our clients' interests means that no two days are the same - from day one you will be hands-on in helping to lead and deliver a wide range of projects, involving anything from organising the launch of a report in Parliament to putting together a video on how artificial intelligence could help the NHS address workforce challenges. #LI-SB
