We worked for One Public Estate (OPE) Whitechapel, a collection of stakeholders including Barts Health NHS Trust, NHS Property Services, Queen Mary University London (Queen Mary) and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets (LBTH), to quantify the economic potential of the Whitechapel Development Programme (WDP) – a life sciences cluster in Whitechapel. Our work involved producing a standalone employment & skills strategy focused on identifying routes to delivering associated employment and skills opportunities within the Whitechapel life sciences cluster to local residents, informed by stakeholder engagement with NHS employees on career pathways.
