What people say about us...


" I am really pleased with the work we have done and delighted with the model provided and the power it gives us to identify how different assumptions will work through in terms of bed capacity. It has been very good working with you on this and I am assuming there will be a continuing link through the joint work with the local authority. "

Future insights

During the course of our we work we are keen to develop key insights for the future in a particular policy area, and to share these more widely. One of the aims of this web site is therefore to make these insights available to the wider health and social care community.

We would also welcome articles submitted by you, if you feel that other people would benefit from insights you have gained as a result of systems thinking and whole system working. If you wish to discuss this further, please contact Peter Lacey at peter.lacey@thewholesystem.co.uk.

We anticipate adding more items over time, but for now we hope that the following articles will be of interest:
