About Practicus

Andrew Vaux, Head of Independent Healthcare at Practicus 

In 2024, the independent health sector not only bolstered the NHS but also pushed the boundaries of innovation, particularly in self-pay. Digital transformation took centre stage, driving bold new care models and reshaping the future of healthcare.

Practicus is a leading provider of senior interim, permanent and executive resource to support change and transformation. We specialise in recruiting exceptional senior talent at pace, which is vital for IHPN members to ensure continuity of leadership, operational efficiency, clinical excellence and the delivery of vital transformative programmes.  

Practicus’ complimentary Advisory service to connect leaders with peers who have faced similar challenges is growing exponentially, demonstrating the growing openness to seeking and offering advice from those in our sector and beyond.

2024 was not without its challenges, however, IHPN’s membership and the IHPN itself, deftly steered a course through them. The outlook for the future is bright and with adaptability and innovation at the heart of our sector, 2025 is shaping up to be positive year on all fronts.
