The credibility and standing of our team make us the ideal partners for you in delivering presentations which engage, inspire and inform your audience.
We deliver to large groups and small gatherings; we deliver informal 'workshop' style engagements, large podium presentations for National Conferences and everything in between.
Current 'hot topics' with our clients are:
Preparing to survive in a changing NHS
Business Team Training - How to succeed in the new NHS
We can tailor our work to your needs. Please get in touch for an informal discussion.
To an extent, the work done in being clear about purpose makes the decision as to corporate vehicle easier, but it is still one which needs careful thought for the emerging cluster. The choices of Partnership or Corporation; limited liability; limited by shares, limited by guarantee or community interest are easy to read about but less easy to envisage in operation. The fact is that decisions made here will empower or dis-empower the executive group in the new organisation; enfranchise or disenfranchise it's members and enable or disable it's Directors.
Most critically, these competing tensions need to be balanced and consistent with what the group has said about what it wants and how it is going to get there. It is not a legal decision but one about purpose which the lawyers need to enact. Good decisions here will help make the organisation flow. Bad ones will create road blocks before the trip begins.
Through our work with many groups around the country, we have developed a model of best practice which we can adapt to the needs of your group.
In many respects, the decision whether or not to 'do' PBC is the one which has occupied most practitioners to date and many groups seem now to have come to a position of cautious commitment to moving forward with PBC.
The challenge for them is now is how to get from here to the point of delivering a business plan to the PCT with a reasonable prospect of being successful. A PBC group needs to be able to articulate fully and clearly:
what they are going to do
what they expect to gain from doing it (financial or otherwise)
the style or manner in which they aim to do it
They need to invest in the right name for their group, the right design in look and feel which enables them to get others to join them and most critically, to support strong leaders to map the journey for the group and to make sure that things happen.

The requirement for Primary Care Practitioners to deliver business plans for new initiatives can be an irritating waste of time. We prefer for it to be a process of refining your thinking about what you want to achieve and engaging those that will support you on your journey.
Our approach to Business Planning is designed to suit your needs. We can make the problem go away by writing the plan for you, presenting it on your behalf and negotiating the terms with your funders. We can support your team in developing meaningful plans which become a useful guide to the future.

'Very valuable - need to prepare well to get the best out of it'.
ND, Project Manager, Bristol
'I would recommend this workshop and want to attend others by Xytal'.
Dr. LK, Bristol
" ... Kevin and Richard were commissioned to produce a complex series of 8 x 45 minute presentations/workshops for us. The sessions were well researched, imaginative, on topic and highly relevant. Delegate feedback was very positive; with both speakers being well received and most importantly, all sessions were enthusiastically and professionally delivered. I would definitely use them again"
JB MBA, Secretariat Manager
'Very informative for people inexperienced in the subject'.
KS, Managing Director, Bristol
'Thank you very much for your hard work today, and sorry to have kept you behind at the end. You work hard and thank you indeed for your wisdom which I shall now have to think about and the New Health Network link has already opened my eyes to a vast set of possibilities.
Dr. NT, Bristol
'Identifying ones needs can be a substantial task in itself, and objective ,experienced people are able to look, analyse, comment and step back; bringing the best of both worlds , objectivity ,whilst leaving the ownership untouched.
Ours was a typical project , with setting up and then a running phase. I saw it as a task beyond our practice whilst attempting to maintain the existing services. "when you are in a hole" , get someone to help you out and Xytal was that someone for us.
There were times in the last six months when I would have honestly said we were drowning, but following Xytal's work, we are not doing so any longer and I think that Xytal can take the credit for their analytical process, which so doing opened our eyes to problems and their solutions alike'.
Dr. RC, Somerset
'..the feed back I have had from the meeting has been very positive in general and more importantly they thought that your contribution for the meetings was timely and appropriate. They felt you were light hearted and funny but still retained the theme of the group and the only negative feed back was that they would have liked you to speak longer.'
Dr. VK, Liverpool
'..yesterday was " a Ka-Ching moment when a very big penny dropped. For me, yesterday was the key which has opened the PBC door.'
Dr. PG, Berkshire
'Many thanks again for your contributions. We have had excellent feedback from the event and I am sure you made many new 'friends' in the audience from your challenging discussion - it was the best LMC autumn event so far and really hit the mark.'
Dr. SM, LMC
'Well, what can I say? That was pretty damn marvellous - thank you! I will of course let you know how the 3 week action plan goes..'
NC, Head of Primary Care.
'Thanks for your input on Wednesday night, Jon, Mark and I all agreed that your contribution was invaluable. I was really impressed with the comprehensive work that you'd put together.'
