Marc Schmid, who founded the business in 2017, described the appointments as ‘game-changing’ as they look to grow from 拢2m turnover to 拢5m.
鈥淏oth Helen and Steve bring strategic support and experience operating at a senior executive level in the NHS and social care,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hey are working with our leadership team on connecting the ambitions of Redmoor Health with national policy developments to ensure our growth strategy is aligned with the rapidly changing national picture.
鈥淲e want to ensure Redmoor Health is not just responding to current challenges but instead helping shape the direction of digital health and care over the next five years.
鈥淲e are already involved with a vast number of transformation programmes but we also want to explore where we can use our expertise to support health and care in new emerging areas which will in time embed Redmoor Health as a key NHS and social care transformation partner.
鈥淲e have also recently won a number of contracts in local government and see the expansion into these areas as a method of offering a much more holistic approach to improving the digital skills and maturity of both the NHS and social care.鈥�
Redmoor Health has just taken new office space at Strawberry Fields Digital Hub in Chorley and is planning a number of additional appointments after being asked to work with the majority of London practices with training and support.
