It’s prefect for businesses big and small as well as public sector organisations. There is a specific module just for the health and social care sector.

Our Patron Lord Salisbury
I am very honoured to be a Patron of MSDP, particularly in view of my family’s long connection with the City of Liverpool, and it is a privilege to be a supporter of such an effective organisation. I wish MSDP the very best of good fortune in the years to come.
