GoodwinHannah was established in 2006 by Neil Goodwin and Christine Hannah.

We work with chief executives, their boards and executive teams to help them identify the strategic, leadership and people challenges they are facing, and to translate them into meaningful, practical action plans for board, personal, team and organisational development.

We also have considerable experience of undertaking confidential and sensitive inquiries into governnance, clinical services, and board and health system capability and behaviours.

Our approach is driven by extensive personal senior managerial experience in a range of large and complex organisations and is underpinned by the use of relevant academic research, including our own primary leadership research.


Our current assignments include work at the forefront of NHS reform, for example assessing the board and organisational implications of transferring community health services into an acute Foundation Trust; and assessing future commissioning arrangements for an alliance of 10 PCTs.

Other work includes completing an inquiry into the organisation of a medical service in a Foundation Trust and assessing the potential benefits of establishing a regional NHS-Higher Education health academy.

GoodwinHannah has been accredited for delivering two national contracts: the development of boards of NHS Primary Care Trusts for the Department of Health; and in partnership with Manchester Business School the development of non-executive directors of NHS Foundation Trusts on behalf of Monitor, the foundation trust independent regulator.

We are also currently working with Ashridge Business School to deliver the next generation of executive directors for the London NHS.
