Kingsgate

Even in the toughest cases, we believe a successful turnaround is possible. We were asked to support a British manufacturer employing 300 people. Fraud had been discovered, delaying the filing of audited accounts and putting the business in breach of a loan agreement. We acted quickly – identifying the underlying causes and overseeing the preparation of accounts. As a result, the loan was retained and stability was restored. #turnaround #finance #accounting

There’s often a gap between what wider NHS systems are seeking to achieve and what individual trusts believe they can actually deliver – whether that relates to financial recovery or different ways of working. Kingsgate’s experts have the experience to reconcile these potentially conflicting agendas. We find ways to address challenges and find solutions which deliver tangible results for all parties. Our approach is rooted in strong collaboration, working with leaders and clinicians to build realistic and achievable transformational plans. #NHS #collaboration

As turnaround specialists, we believe that a severe financial crisis for a business doesn’t necessarily mean it’s at the end of the road. We use our skills and experience to give companies a viable future – no matter how difficult the circumstances. Yes, it can require strong leadership and some tough decisions, but it’s a challenge we never side-step. #fturnaround #businesssupport #consultancy

We’re proud of Kingsgate’s strong track record of support for the NHS, dating back more than 20 years. In that time, we’ve become true specialists in helping our treasured healthcare system to deal with the various challenges it faces. From A&E waiting times, cancer referrals and patient outcomes, to staff retention and ways of working, we understand the elements critical to NHS transformation and success. We’re committed to ensuring we deliver sustainable positive change which continues to provide return on investment – long after the project is completed. #healthcare #nhs #transformation

Work we’ve recently undertaken in the Midlands shows how we discover opportunities to improve NHS productivity. The Kingsgate team were asked to determine the level of actual ophthalmology theatre capacity available in the Trust. Our analysis and engagement with clinicians showed that the NHS Trust had the staff and facilities to carry out 1,000 more cataract operations a year – within its core capacity. On average, the average number of cases per operating list (ACPL) was four – less than half what’s we’d expect to see. It was a similar picture in orthopaedics, where up to 1,000 additional cases could be handled each year. The unused capacity was hindering efforts to tackle long waiting lists and more patients were choosing the independent sector. Through our work with the clinical and operational teams, the actual level of operating capacity and capability in both specialties has been accepted. The required ACPL increases are being put in place – importantly, with the objective of increasing core capacity. This collaborative approach is key to our work – agreeing the position with the local team, to then co-develop the solutions. We also coach and support implementation to ensure teams realise the benefits to patients, the service and commercially. #NHS #surgery #efficiency

Successful financial turnaround is all about problem-solving. Our role as recovery experts is to grasp as quickly as possible why a company is struggling to stay afloat – and then to identify how it can successfully be put back on an even keel. This not only requires good financial acumen, but also a sensitive approach to handling the human side of the situation. A special mix of skills which Kingsgate is proud to possess. #finance #business

A key principle of our specialist turnaround and recovery work for the NHS is that we act as a critical friend. That means that we offer supportive challenge for distressed healthcare trusts and systems – analysing complex data to identify how services can be improved and efficiencies made. Crucially, the changes we propose are shaped in close collaboration with in-house teams, so that they can benefit from the insights we provide – long after our work for them has finished. #NHS #collaboration #efficiency

It you were to ask us to sum up Kingsgate in a few words, this is what we’d say: • Expert – our turnaround skills are based on many years of experience • Effective – we focus on the end result • Agile – we’re always listening and adapting • Straightforward – we’re honest and realistic • Supportive – we work with you #turnaround #consultancy #expertise

We hear a lot about NHS paperwork, its effect on productivity and the frustrations it can create for staff. But it is possible to reduce the burden. We supported one hospital trust which wanted to move to electronic patient records, but was struggling to work out the costs and eventual benefits. The Kingsgate team worked with them to create a business case, drawing on our experience of similar projects elsewhere. We were able to show that the change would save more than £2m a year in admin costs. #NHS #digital #efficiency
