KPMG UK\’s Infrastructure, Government and Healthcare (IGH) business is widely recognised as a leading financial and commercial adviser across the public sector and on projects of national importance.

Our purpose is to support the projects that improve the fabric of our nation, and other nations around the world trying to improve the economic functioning and social wellbeing of their society.

Our healthcare advisory business is a critical plank in that. Healthcare is undergoing rapid change.

Our team advises across that – we are amongst the market leaders in service transformation, capital project delivery and technology implementation.
