Consultant Workforce Optimisation System
A forensic system architecture designed to help NHS Trusts reclaim clinical capacity, close the incentive gap, improve patient care and stabilise financial run-rates.
The Clinical Productivity Paradox
Since 2018/19, consultant headcount has grown by 28.5%, yet productivity has declined by 12.1%. Current planning often defaults to “The Pyramid Game”—protecting senior tiers while hollowing out the foundation.
THE GOODWILL GAP Reduction in discretionary effort te bigger the workforce the less value is being created for every £1,000 spent.
FRICTION GAP Current fragmented system swallows new capacity faster than recruitment can add it.
THE INCENTIVE GAP
Commoditised PAs have decoupled pay from output, incentivising “clock-watching” over clinical outcomes.
A Fix, Not a Study: The Architecture
Transitioning from reactive planning to a closed-loop productivity architecture. CWOS turns workforce planning from politics into a repeatable, decision-grade system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a standard workforce study?
Most current offers provide a report. We install a repeatable system (CWOS) that combines gives you the immediate solutions but also a repeatable and scalable capability reducing reliance on external support.
Is this just about cutting costs?
No. It is about supporting clinicians to deliver value. By rebalancing workloads, we reduce burnout risk and improve patient access.
How do you handle the legalities of contract changes?
We work with our legal partners to provide the governance frameworks required to transition to activity-linked local pay arrangements.
Led by Clinicians
CWOS is delivered by clinicians and individuals with deep operational experience, who understand the nuances of consultant job planning and the realities of service delivery in the NHS.
