Projects

B+A supported NHS Fife to develop a whole-system bed model and service blueprint, enabling strategic planning across acute, community, mental health and care home settings. Our work is informing decision making about investment priorities and future service configuration, helping shape a sustainable, locality-based health and care system.

B+A worked with a range of stakeholders to articulate a future model of health, care and wellbeing across the whole health and care system to develop a Programme Initial Agreement which sets out an overarching proposition for future and on-going investment.

B+A developed a whole system modelling tool for Borders Health and Social Care Partnership and NHS Borders  to support long-term planning across prevention, home, community, and acute care services helping identify future demand, service redesign opportunities, and inform investment priorities and financial efficiencies.

Discover how we helped Aberdeenshire HSCP used stakeholder insight, population data, and service trends to assess current care home capacity and project future needs. The analysis informed evidence-based commissioning decisions and explored alternative models for sustainable care delivery.

B+A worked with NHS Lothian and its four Health & Social Care Partnerships to develop a whole-system inpatient bed model, forecasting demand across acute, mental health, and social care settings over 20 years. Through scenario modelling, stakeholder workshops, and structured governance, we delivered a robust, evidence-based framework to support strategic planning and investment decisions across the region.

Supporting the development of a case to replace the existing Belford Hospital in Fort William and reconfigure Caithness General Hospital as part of a wider Caithness redesign project.  Full healthcare planning support using our 5 stage approach, demand and capacity analysis, development of Clinical Briefs and Accommodation Schedule.

B+A worked closely with Ayrshire Hospice’s leadership and Board to develop a Strategic Plan that responds to changing community needs and socio-economic challenges. Through values-led consultation, strategic workshops, and governance engagement, we helped define the organisation’s purpose, vision, and objectives – culminating in a published plan structured around four key themes: People, Care, Partnerships, and Sustainability.

Working with NHS Lothian to support the strategic planning of Ophthalmology services across the Board to inform the plans for a replacement to the Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion.

Strategic review of NHS Fife’s primary care estate to inform future investment and service planning. Outputs supported strategic planning and engagement with the IJB and Scottish Government. 

B+A supported NHS Lothian in developing an early-stage investment proposal to reprovide its Hospital Sterilisation and Decontamination (HSD) service. Through stakeholder workshops and detailed analysis, we helped define the case for change, assess future capacity needs, and develop costed service options. The resulting Initial Agreement is aligned with national programmes and has strong support from staff and service users.

Regional Specialist Cancer Service Model Review - working with NHS Lothian and the South East Scotland Cancer Network (SCAN) to identify the optimum care delivery model for cancer services.  This work supported the re-submission of the Initial Agreement for a new Edinburgh Cancer Centre.

B+A supported NHS Shetland to develop an overarching Programme Initial Agreement for the Island Region – enabling whole-system planning across health and care services. Our work included strategic case development, stakeholder engagement, and demand and capacity modelling to support coordinated investment across hospital and locality-based services.

B+A supported Velindre University NHS Trust in developing a region-wide clinical model and business case for Acute Oncology Services across South East Wales. Working closely with clinicians, executives, and planning teams from multiple Health Boards, we delivered a robust, prioritised implementation plan and a compelling case for investment – securing multi-board approval and enabling coordinated service transformation.

B+A partnered with NHS Forth Valley and its two Integration Joint Boards to develop a whole-system capacity model for older adult services. Covering care homes, intermediate care, community hospitals, and acute settings, the work combined scenario modelling, stakeholder engagement, and strategic analysis to forecast future demand and identify opportunities for service redesign. The outputs are now informing strategic planning, commissioning, and estate development across the region.

Working to understand the service and estate implications arising from a number of drivers for change impacting on primary care. Activities included developing an extensive stakeholder engagement approach to: assess the impact, quantify the capacity and seek to identify the investment priorities.
