You work with me, not a junior team. My associate Nell supports delivery behind the scenes.
About
Hello, I'm Hannah.
I have spent over twenty years in the NHS, since 2005. I have worked in commissioning and locality management, run operations for one of the UK's first COVID referral centres, led PCN development and transformation, and been head of governance for a group of six practices. I have seen primary care from every angle, and I love it.
In 2025 I took voluntary redundancy from a senior NHS role and set up Hannah Nurrish Consulting. I wanted to give something back to a system I understand deeply, in a way that let me be present for my two boys. Building a business around family is part of who I am, and it shapes how I work with every client.
What I believe
Most practices are full of capable people who have never been given structure, time or support to lead well. When you get the foundations right, everything else gets calmer: CQC, access, the team, the partners' evenings.
Good support should leave a practice stronger and more confident, not reliant on a consultant. I measure my work by how well your team runs when I am not in the room.
How I work
Diagnosis first.
Every piece of work starts with PracticeFit™, my framework for practice health across eight areas.
Online by default.
Sessions are online to fit around clinics, with time on site when it matters most.
With kindness.
Change is hard. I lead it calmly and honestly.
