About Us
KPMG is recognised as a leading advisor in healthcare transformation, helping
healthcare organisations realise value from digital investment and modernise the
delivery of care through technology-enabled change.
We support national healthcare organisations, Integrated Care Systems, NHS

transformation programmes and maximise value from digital technologies. Our
services span digital strategy, cyber resilience, Electronic Patient Record
(EPR) transformation, technology deployment, adoption and optimisation,

As healthcare organisations become increasingly dependent on digital

technologies are deployed securely, governed effectively and able to deliver
measurable value.

Transformation, Data & Analytics, AI, Transformation and Enterprise Solutions to
deliver holistic solutions to healthcare organisations.
Our team supports clients throughout the full transformation lifecycle, from
strategy and business case development through technology deployment, adoption,
optimisation and benefits realisation. We work across some of the largest and
most complex healthcare transformation programmes in the UK, including
EPR-enabled transformation, healthcare productivity improvement, digital
operating model transformation and the adoption of emerging technologies such as
Artificial Intelligence, Ambient Voice Technology (AVT), Virtual Care, Remote
Monitoring and Advanced Analytics.
We are keen to recruit talented people who have the energy and drive to succeed
in a dynamic and rapidly evolving sector and who are passionate about improving
healthcare through digital innovation.
The team works in an agile and flexible manner, with significant opportunities
to develop new skills, gain exposure to senior healthcare leaders and build
