Access to Ideas is Not The Problem, 
Implementation is.

The NHS does not lack ambition, innovation or strategy. But even with the right policies, funding and clinical priorities, transformation often fails to land in practice.

Why Implementation Falls Short

Transformation depends on people. The most common barrier is workforce readiness. Systems and services often lack the capability, confidence and capacity to deliver change while managing day-to-day pressures.

​

We help overcome these challenges by redesigning services around people, not just policy. We support the existing workforce to deliver more efficiently, consistently and at the top of their licence.

Working With The Right Partners

Real change also needs aligned support. We work with NHS providers, ICS leaders, the third sector and, where appropriate, in safe and compliant partnership with pharmaceutical companies to deliver impact that is scalable and sustainable.

Why System Transformation is Slow

Even with the right structure on paper, delivery is frequently blocked by gaps in workforce capability, alignment and implementation support.

System Pressures Compounded by Workforce and Delivery Gaps.

System Challenges

  • Pathways exist but lack ownership and delivery mechanisms

  • Pressures on time, funding and staffing

  • High variation in service delivery and outcomes

  • Complex stakeholder environments and resistance to change

            Workforce and Partner Gaps

  • No dedicated resource or clarity on where to start

  • Insufficient skills or tools to drive change and upskill teams

  • Fragmented implementation across teams and systems

  • Limited change management support and alignment processes

How We Accelerate Transformation

We bring two core enablers to support sustainable, people-led delivery.

  1. 4D® Change Management Methodology: our structured framework for service redesign and implementation

  2. SMART Workforce Platform: our digital tool for assessing and building capability across the multidisciplinary team

 

Together, they enable NHS systems to move from strategy to confident delivery.

Service Redesign and Delivery Using 4D®

​

4D® is our proven, simplified methodology developed specifically for healthcare transformation. It supports systems to break down complex change into four clear, actionable stages.

We work with NHS teams to:

​

  • Co-design services aligned with operational and commissioning priorities

  • Facilitate practical workshops to engage and align stakeholders

  • Apply tools and resources for implementation and scale

  • Enable safe, compliant collaboration with trusted partners

​

​The 4D®Methodology

Diagnose

Defines the vision, understands the current state and identifies barriers

 

Design

Co-develops a service model with clear roles, pathways and     workforce needs

 

Deliver

Supports implementation through engagement, training and change support

 

Demonstrate

Captures outcomes and learning to support scale and sustainability

SMART

Enabling Workforce-Led Transformation
 

SMART is our digital workforce platform that helps systems understand, build and activate capability across the multidisciplinary team.

​

It is used alongside 4D® to ensure services are not just designed but delivered by confident, competent teams. SMART has been commissioned by NHSE and trusted by pharmaceutical partners to support transformation in areas such as cardiovascular, respiratory, IBD, menopause and mental health.

​

SMART can be used:

  • Alongside 4D® to support delivery and workforce change

  • Within QI programmes to assess training and impact

As a Strategic Workforce Planning Tool

SMART also enables long-term workforce planning by providing actionable data and insight.

​

We help systems:

  • Deploy SMART across whole systems, pathways or regions

  • Use role-specific frameworks aligned to NHS priorities

  • Generate data-led insight for commissioning and workforce planning

Why This Approach Works

We design services around the people who deliver them. By combining 4D® structure with SMART insights, we help systems move from discussion to delivery with confidence.

​

We:

  • Facilitate workshops to align teams and secure buy-in

  • Use structured tools and templates to simplify design

  • Provide implementation-ready resources

  • Support safe and compliant collaboration across sectors

  • Build workforce capability and confidence with SMART

Client Success Snapshot

“I have worked with the Soar Beyond team over the last 7 years and have not hesitated to recommend them and introduce them to help with our population health challenges.

 

They are highly respected amongst my national level peer group for their purpose, clinical pathway, high standards of training delivery and medicines commissioning expertise. Importantly, they have a track record of innovation and implementation to drive sustainable service change.”
