Consultancy
Strategic insight for the future of health, education and leadership.
Advising governments, universities, regulators and health systems on the workforce, education and leadership decisions that shape the next decade.
A senior team, an international remit.
Axis consultancy sits alongside our education and coaching work. It is delivered by senior practitioners with executive experience across health systems, higher education, professional regulation and global workforce policy.
We work with health ministries, universities, professional regulators, hospital groups and philanthropic partners - typically on the long-horizon questions: how to grow a workforce ethically, how to modernise a curriculum, how to raise standards without breaking the people delivering them.
Our healthcare-facing work is delivered in strategic partnership with Horizon Health Consultancy, led by Dr Nichola Ashby. Together we bring nursing, education and organisational culture expertise under one senior team.
Six areas of expertise.
