Today we celebrate 15 years as one of few independent specialists providing comprehensive workforce consultancy to NHS departments and the private healthcare sector.

“Our 15th anniversary marks a significant milestone, working in partnership with the NHS and international organisations to deliver transformative workforce consultancy.
We are extremely proud to have delivered innovation and change, driven by our core principles of patient safety, work life balance and education for staff, and efficiency…it has been truly inspiring to work with many pioneering NHS leaders across so many services, specialities and organisations.”
Matthew Bluck – Managing Partner, KBC Healthcare Consultants
Founded in 2011 as Zircadian, KBC Healthcare Consultants (Kendall Bluck Consulting) was originally formed to take-over delivering the rostering function provided to over 150 hospitals by Rotaworks.
As Zircadian, we delivered rota design, reviews and contract advice to trusts, before evolving our services to include best-practice workforce alignment strategies.
Today, we work collaboratively with both clinical and non-clinical teams, using proprietary software to develop the most cost-effective alignment strategies that help ensure successful incremental transformation. Our reviews typically identify upwards of £4 million efficiencies.
“Our focus is on delivering custom-built reviews for clients, bringing our expertise to organisations who wish to improve workforce efficiency whilst enhancing patient care, education, training, and the work-life balance of staff.
This ambition is applied to all our projects, providing clinically-led affordable consultancy to the NHS and beyond.”
