Mergers & Acquisitions

Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust was the first Foundation Trust to acquire another NHS Trust, Good Hope Hospital, in 2007.

As we discovered, making an acquisition is a complex process – especially in the NHS.  We work with clients in the following areas to share our experience and methodologies, and to ensure that the journey to merger or acquisition and beyond is as smooth as possible.

• Understanding the strategic imperative to acquire

• Appraising options

• How to value a Trust

• How to negotiate terms

• Handling the actual transaction process and interacting with key stakeholders

• Planning for post-merger integration

• Organisational development post merger to enhance staff morale
