Expertise infusion
Blue Lozenge provides flexible communication expertise when you need it most. Whether you are looking for a fully managed service, short-term help to cover a gap, or support with recruitment, we slot in smoothly, building genuine relationships.
Depending on whether you may need an interim head of communications, fractional senior leadership or a specialist project team to deliver a specific project, we adapt our support to fit your organisation, challenges and timescales. That might mean one person stepping in to cover an absence or a whole team bringing a mix of skills – whatever works best for you.
As specialists in the NHS and public sector, we are experienced at working across hospital trusts, commissioners, system partners and national NHS organisations. We are flexible by design, offering support on a one-off basis or as an ongoing partnership.
How we can help you
As projects progress, we focus on sharing knowledge and building confidence within your in-house teams, so skills and learning stay with you. We also offer communications recruitment support through our HR partner, helping you every step of the way, from writing the advert to welcoming your new starter onboard.
