Consultancy

Harrison Training has a proven track record in successfully carrying out consultancy and project work - from one-off assessments to broad-ranging, long-term projects, for the independent, health and social care sectors

  • Interim management - where lack of personnel and/or expertise limit effective service delivery
  • Tailored staff development programmes - for individuals or teams; identification of need and/or service delivery
  • Service development - establishing or redesigning an existing service
  • Service reviews - where an external overview of a service is required , a proposed action plan, and support for implementation if required

Our consultants (Associates)

Highly experienced Associates work to an agreed project brief but will advise when change is necessary. They provide and independent and objective view of a service within its organisational and political context. Each Associate is supervised to ensure ongoing accountability.
