About Rho Consulting

Rho Consulting was established in June 2007 as an independent Health Technology Consulting firm. This was done to fill a distinct gap in the market, offering a comprehensive, professional service applying the principles of Health Technology Management. The firm has no associations with suppliers or manufacturers, ensuring that comment and advice is based on scientific facts and on professional opinion.


Clinical Engineering skills and expertise are in short supply on a global scale. Although the value of applying Clinical En­gineering principles is well accepted in the industry, practitioners often can not match their requirement for the service with the available skills in the market. Contracting with Rho Consulting offers the flexibility to purchase the required expertise without having to commit to the perpetual burden of employment. It further gives you access to our vast and varied skill and experience.

Rho Consulting is committed to professional and independent service. Understanding the requirement for a patient-centric approach we pride ourselves in giving advice that is aimed at improving the clinical outcomes of the facility or the system, depending on the respective project involved.

General consulting

General Consulting

While keeping to our core competence in Health Technology we have experience in what can be called more “gen­eral consulting”. Included in this category are:

  • Due diligence audits on hospitals, specifically looking at medical technology. This would include assessing the condition and value of the equipment in a specific setting.
  • Assessment Audit to determine the current status of a hospital, again with specific reference to the equipment.
  • Complete Asset audit as is required for the establishment or verification of a financial asset register. This would include the population of all the relevant data fields to ensure equipment is identified and recorded accurately.
  • Assessment on individual devices as is typically required by an insurance assessor or lost adjuster following an insurance claim.
