A shared specialist network across several countries
Multi-country
Neighbouring health systems, each short of different specialists, sharing one governed network instead of competing for the same few hires.

The situation
When neighbouring countries face different specialist gaps, each tends to solve them alone. Typical obstacles:
- Every system missing a different set of specialties
- No shared infrastructure for cross-border clinical collaboration
- Uncertainty about licensing, data protection and liability across borders
- Different protocols and reporting requirements in each system
How we would set it up
We would set up the governance first, then the clinical network:
- A cross-border framework covering licensing, credentialing and accountability in each country
- Secure, compliant technology for case sharing and consultation
- Shared clinical protocols, adapted to each local context
- One specialist network serving all partners, with clear scope for each engagement
- Local clinical ownership in every country, with regional coordination
What we would measure
We agree the measures with the partner before launch, record a baseline, and review them together on a regular cadence.
- Specialist availability in each participating system
- Consultation turnaround times
- Clinician and patient experience of remote consultation
- Compliance and incident reporting across borders
