Stronger together

Healthy London Partnership (HLP) and Healthcare Consulting (HC) came together as a single team, called ‘Transformation Partners in Health and Care’ in 2022. They were later joined by the Digital Productivity team in 2023.

HLP was established in 2015 in response to the NHS Five Year Forward View and Better Health For London, with the aim to make London the healthiest global city. HC was established in 2013 as the first internal NHS consultancy, with an ambition to help transform services and improve outcomes across the health and social care in England.

The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust Innovation & Intelligent Automation (IIA) team was created in the autumn of 2020 to support the trust’s robotics and automation programme. This team was instrumental in scaling the use of automation technology across the whole of healthcare. By delivering world-class automation ‘by the NHS for the NHS’ the team saved many thousands of hours for NHS professionals, improved patient experience, and promoted better health and wellbeing for staff. In July 2023 part of this team joined TPHC, with a new name ‘Digital Productivity’.

The HLP and HC teams had been working collaboratively under the London Improvement and Transformation Architecture umbrella since 2020 and have been hosted by The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust since July 2022. The three teams share a joint leadership team have a joint identity.
The TPHC name and identity reflect the core values that underpin the team’s partnerships, consultancy and digital productivity services. You may see references to Healthy London Partnership and Healthcare Consulting throughout this website – these references were produced before the joining of the brands but were correct at the time of their creation.
