The document provides guidance on marketing to the NHS. It advises to consider individuals in the marketing process, treat change as an opportunity, and engage commercially with the NHS. It also notes the NHS is not a single entity and its parts are not always joined up. Quality improvement initiatives like QIPP and the NHS Outcomes Framework aim to improve efficiency, outcomes and patient experience.
