Helping organisations deliver health and care service change projects.
We specialise in patient involvement and public consultation, strategic communications, and programme leadership support for complex health and care service change programmes.
Our team brings decades of experience working with system leaders and stakeholders to deliver service transformation successfully for the NHS and Public Health.
We’re now Olovus
After five successful years as Stand, we’ve changed our name.
We’re now Olovus – a name that reflects our commitment to involving all of us in delivering meaningful change in health and care.
What hasn’t changed is who we are. We are still the same expert team, with the same values, and the same focus to deliver NHS service transformation and public involvement for our clients.
We are exhibiting at NHS ConfedExpo 2025 on 11-12 June at Manchester Central
NHS ConfedExpo is the leading health and care conference in the UK, bringing together over 5,000 leaders, professionals and partners from across the health and care sector to collaborate, share insights and develop innovative solutions to deliver high quality care for all.
This will be our third year exhibiting at NHS ConfedExpo. Pop along and say hello or schedule a chat with us before you arrive. We will be on stand G81.
