What Team Consulting does

Team Consulting Ltd is a UK-headquartered medical product development consultancy, founded in 1986 and operating for 40 years from Ickleton, near Cambridge, with a secondary presence in the United States. The firm provides end-to-end medical device development services spanning drug delivery (implantable, parenteral, respiratory), advanced MedTech, digital health, cell and gene therapies, diagnostics, neurotech, surgical devices, and medical imaging. Its multidisciplinary teams combine applied science (acoustics, magnetics, microfluidics, optics, data analytics), industrial and digital design, mechanical and electronics engineering, software systems, human factors, regulatory affairs, and testing and de-risking under an ISO 13485-certified quality system.

The company's underlying technology is a service platform rather than a proprietary product. Notable technical capabilities include low-power electronics and FPGA design for connected devices, process analytical technologies (Raman, variable pathlength UV-Vis, holographic imaging, electrical impedance) integrated into cell and gene therapy bioprocessing, and computer-vision-assisted mixed reality for surgical training. Representative delivered projects include a connected auto-injector module with Bluetooth telemetry for Recipharm's VapourSoft platform, a low-cost children's medication tracking syringe, and a mixed-reality burns-training headset for Buckinghamshire NHS Trust. The firm has won multiple Red Dot, Good Design, iF, UX Design, DBA, and PDA Drug Delivery awards, including the 2025 PDA Drug Delivery Innovation Award alongside AstraZeneca for digital instructions on the Fasenra Autoinjector.

Team Consulting operates as a B2B professional services firm generating revenue through project-based consulting engagements sold directly to pharmaceutical companies (e.g., AstraZeneca, Recipharm), MedTech startups and scale-ups (e.g., Tympa Health), advanced therapy developers, diagnostics firms, and healthcare providers (NHS trusts). GTM is driven by enterprise field sales, industry events (RDD, Pharmapack, PDA, MedTech Integrates), thought-leadership content (Insight magazine, website, LinkedIn), and strategic partnerships with academic institutions (King's College London/LIHE) and the Royal College of Surgeons. The company transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust approximately a decade ago and has 101–250 employees; revenue, pricing, and detailed financial metrics are not publicly disclosed.
