Corporate Partnerships

The Institute of Healthcare management (IHM) is a fee paying professional body comprised of state and private sector healthcare managers, from Chief Executives to level one Managers.

The purpose of the IHM is to enhance and promote high standards of professional healthcare management in order to improve healthcare for the benefit of the public.

The IHM as part of its development is enthusiastic about forming strategic promotional alliances with appropriate organisations or brands.

Key facts about the IHM and the marketplace

• An important aspect of forming a strategic partnership with the IHM is the access this will give to key decision makers with substantial budgetary responsibility.
• IHM members control budgets which are in excess of £3.5 Billion.
• IHM member’s budget responsibilities impact on every purchasing aspect related to delivering healthcare from IT, equipment, telecoms, training, vehicles and all forms of outside tender negotiations.
• IHM members are responsible for managing significant numbers of personnel.
• The IHM lobbies and supports the sector as a whole regardless of membership – this is reflected in the wider distribution of our publication Health Management that has a circulation of 10,500 of the most influential decision makers in the healthcare sector.

Opportunities for the Corporate Partner

Many organisations often have complex and detailed messages to communicate about their products or services. Healthcare managers are busy people and are inundated with all types of supplier information. So how do you make your proposition stand out and grab their time and attention?

You need a persuasive argument backed up by research, and it helps to align yourself with the individuals’ professional membership organisation, particularly when many of its members value their membership so highly, they pay the fees themselves.

By working with the IHM as a strategic Partner, you take the opportunity to go far beyond your competitors in demonstrating your support for the organisation and its members, and you will give your promotional message a flying start.

Our approach to establishing strategic Partnerships is extremely flexible. We have a portfolio of options from joint research through PR to website, magazine and event presence, and more – but we will not be prescriptive. Our preference is to work directly with you from the outset, and gain a genuine understanding of your objectives and requirements. Then we will help you to determine the best way forward to suit your needs and your budgets.
