Daniel Gilbert

hanover Communications

Summary of work

Against a backdrop of unprecedented government reforms and vast change to the NHS, modern healthcare communicators must deliver programmes that resonate with diverse, time-poor target audiences of policymakers, healthcare professionals, commissioners, patient groups and the public.

Tangible return on investment is a prerequisite, and communications must deliver real clinical and commercial outcomes for clients. In his first year in consultancy, Daniel achieved all of this in 2011, and for clients with a wide variety of needs, including: national broadcast and print news coverage, stakeholder engagement at the highest level, national and local NHS engagement, and input and shaping of government policy.
