What do we do?
We provide an expert service to a wide range of clients and sectors across the country.
In particular, we are overwhelmingly passionate about health and care in all its guises, and our team have between them spent decades supporting, developing and guiding partners of all shapes and sizes through the issues and opportunities of this sector.
We are just as happy working with start up clinical service providers looking to break into the health and care sector as we are working with NHS England to improve sustainability and resilience in GP practices.
Our other main passion is innovation, particularly digital innovation, and we have to admit to a tendency to get rather over excited when we uncover opportunities to transfer and apply digital technology developed in other sectors across to health and care.

Open Junction supports set up of innovative COVID Vaccination Centre in Eastbourne
Open Junction has been supporting Victoria Medical Centre set up an innovative COVID Vaccination Centre, one of the first of its kind in the country, in the Beacon shopping centre in Eastbourne.
We have successfully managed to convert what was a soft play area into a state-of-the-art Vaccination Centre in just 10 days and the first patients will be coming through the door this Saturday 19th, Sunday 20th and Monday 21st December.
This centre alone is expected to vaccinate around 30,000 patients and will be open for at least 12 weeks.
Our many congratulations to Dr Mark Gaffney and his team for their amazing job creating such a unique space in a very short time. It is worth noting that the staff at the Vaccination Centre have all volunteered to make this happen – amazing!
Open Junction has been actively supporting the merger of what was originally 3 practices Green Street, Bolton Road and Enys Road, into the new Victoria Medical Centre, which was formed on 1st July 2020.
