Fusion established strong working relationships with the Trust, at senior managerial, clinical and operational levels to ensure that the programme and its business cases were clinically driven, relevant and feasible on a complex, ‘live’ site.

​

In areas such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, outpatients, brachytherapy and pharmacy, a key role was to develop a clear understanding of how services operated and how they might change, facilitating project teams and workshops and supporting senior managers and clinicians to drive the project forward to a challenging timescale.

​

Fusion also developed demand and capacity projections, linked to functional requirements and detailed schedules, to understand future needs and flexibility, working with local finance teams to demonstrate affordability and clarify revenue consequences.

​

The Programme Business Case brought together all these elements within a coherent strategic framework to support effective decision making.
