Recent NHS reform has created a diverse provider market for healthcare, where NHS, private and voluntary organisations compete for contracts. This presents new challenges for charities as they face a unique opportunity to develop or grow their health and wellbeing public sector contracts and services.
The comms challenge
Charities face a growing requirement to market their expertise and services to commissioners across the NHS, local government and independent sectors. But how do charity leaders ensure their charity can position itself on a level playing field with competitors from the public or commercial sectors, without straying from their core mission? How do communicators get their charity’s key messages to existing or potential NHS and local government commissioners?
