Mobilisation Approach
Get to know the NHS preferred partner for elective recovery
At NCI, we recognise that the success of any insourcing programme begins long before the first patient is seen.
Our mobilisation process is designed to deliver speed without compromising safety, governance or quality. Every contract is mobilised through a structured, collaborative approach that ensures readiness, assurance and seamless integration with our NHS partners.
Rapid yet Robust Mobilisation
We understand the urgency of elective recovery, which is why our mobilisation model combines pace with precision. Typical mobilisation is completed within two to four weeks, depending on the service, with early milestones reached within days of engagement
Our process includes:
Initial mobilisation call – aligning objectives, timelines and governance with the Trust team.
Dedicated mobilisation lead – a named senior manager responsible for ensuring delivery to plan.
Stakeholder mapping – identifying key Trust contacts across clinical, operational and IT functions.
Governance alignment – ensuring our processes, reporting and risk management align seamlessly with Trust systems.
Mobilisation is underpinned by rigorous checks and clear accountability. We provide:
Workforce assurance – verification of clinical credentials, mandatory training and compliance.
Clinical governance set-up – policies, escalation protocols and risk registers established prior to go-live.
IT and data integration – tested and secure access to Trust systems, ensuring data accuracy and continuity.
Logistical readiness – confirmation of sites, theatres, equipment and pathways.
Partnership-Based Delivery
We do not mobilise in isolation. Our teams work alongside Trust colleagues, respecting existing structures while adding capacity and expertise. This collaborative approach means:
- Early identification of potential risks or bottlenecks.
- Shared decision-making and transparent communication.
- Flexibility to adapt mobilisation to each Trust’s unique environment.
