Questions you may have

Public affairs is how organisations communicate their priorities within the policy environment, by building trusted relationships with decision-makers and the people who influence them. In healthcare, that means engaging with a wide range of stakeholders including policymakers, professional bodies, patient organisations, and the wider debate.
Government affairs is direct engagement with government institutions, officials and politicians to shape decisions that affect your organisation. It is narrower than public affairs and focuses on the formal machinery of government: departments, ministers, regulators and the parliamentary process. Both public and government affairs matter in driving policy change, because policy is rarely decided by the government alone.

We deliver strategic public and government affairs advice that addresses policy and business challenges. Our team co-develops strategies that connect your organisation with key decision-makers, turning complex policy challenges into opportunities to improve health outcomes.

We bridge gaps between innovation and implementation, ensuring your message reaches the right ears. With experience at both the national and global levels, we provide our clients with the insights and practical experience needed to achieve change.

Our clients span the health and life science ecosystems: pharmaceutical companies, advocacy groups, professional groups, medical device manufacturers and trade associations. From start-ups to established companies, we help our clients engage with policymakers, thought leaders and the policy-making process to improve healthcare now and for the future.

We are registered as consultant lobbyists with the Office of the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists  and with the Scottish Parliament Lobbying Register. All our work aligns with the PRCA Lobbying Code.

We always act as an extension of your team as a strategic partner to co-create solutions that last. We respond quickly to business, policy and political developments, with strategic insights and deep sector knowledge to deliver tangible change.
