Behavioural & Mental Health
Behavioural and mental health strategy
In the UK, behavioural and mental health is the most outsourced of all clinical specialities. A large private-equity led building boom occurred in the 2000’s alleviated a severe capacity shortage in the NHS for long-stay mental health beds.
The pattern since then has followed the pattern found in commodity industrial cycles, with scarcity leading to higher price leading to capital investment in greater capacity, which in turn has often led to overcapacity and falling prices. The cycle lasts 7-10 years and those who have invested at the right time, reaped the highest returns.
We work with investors and providers to find out where an investment cycle is in a particular mental health segment. We also research which geographic areas still have capacity issues and provide fertile ground for new investment.
Our behavioural and mental health leads
Our teams combine scientific expertise with deal experience. We bring rigour to forecasting and valuation, assess regulatory and market access dynamics, and help frame development strategies that appeal to potential partners or acquirers. This ensures that investment cases are built on realistic assumptions and that transactions are structured to capture fair value.
Beyond transactions, we support operational priorities such as target operating model design, performance improvement, and digital and data strategy. By combining strategic clarity with an understanding of scientific and clinical realities, we help biotech firms and their backers make sound decisions in an increasingly competitive market.
