Impact evaluation

The challenge – evidence is no longer optional

The NHS and the wider health and care sector are in a state of flux, undergoing the most significant redesign and reorganisation in a generation.

Organisations must prove the real-world impact of their innovations to secure adoption, funding and scale.

Health and care leaders know they must innovate. But funders, decision-makers, and commissioners demand robust, independent evidence before committing to a large-scale rollout or investment.

Yet evaluation methods often fall short.

Static reports don’t drive action – they fail to provide a compelling reason to adopt, scale or fund innovation.

Worse, many NHS and care organisations lack the internal capability to measure ongoing impact, leaving them without the tools to build a lasting case for change.

Our solution – evaluations that drive real-world change

At Future Care Capital (FCC), we don’t just assess impact – we help you amplify and embed it.

Our evaluations go beyond one-off reports, building long-term capability so organisations don’t just receive insights – they are empowered to act on them.

We work alongside your team, demystifying the evaluation process, embedding impact measurement into your operations and equipping you with the tools to secure funding and drive change.

What we do

We offer a range of evaluation solutions tailored to your needs, including:

• Full Evaluation: End-to-end impact measurement, embedded from the start to track outcomes in real time.
• Retrospective Evaluation: Post-project assessment, even when structured data collection wasn’t in place.
• Impact Strategy Review: Early-stage guidance to shape organisational evaluation frameworks and strengthen funding applications.
• Programme Logic Development: Workshops to align stakeholders and define clear impact objectives before programme implementation.
