The Strategy Unit is a specialist NHS team. We produce high-quality, multi-disciplinary analytical work – and we help people apply the results. Our proposition is simple: better evidence, better decisions, better outcomes.

We believe in what we do. So we partner with others who share our aims. We help drive the Midlands Decision Support Network; we support the NHS-R Community; we have a strategic partnership with Ipsos; we are part of Midlands and Lancashire CSU and we work closely with our sister team: the Health Economics Unit.

Our staff are highly skilled and profoundly multi-disciplinary. They are organised into seven teams.
