How can I transition from Pharmacy to healthcare consulting?

I am a senior band 8a Pharmacist and Independent Prescriber with 10 years experience in various settings including digital/telehealth, physical and mental health Trusts. I have an established record of delivering significant cost savings through large scale medicines optimisation and biosimilar switches. I have experience in clinical governance by way of being elected as a Staff Governor to sit on the Council of Governors and also a Core20PLUS Ambassador Alumni with NHS England and NHS Improvement to address healthcare inequalities. With this background, I'd like to move into healthcare consulting. Please advise on the best strategy to transition (ideally without a drastic pay cut). Thanks.

Lean into those savings, if you can quantify them, verify them, those are the types of wins that would show well for someone transitioning. Your sitting on the Council also shows to your viability as at least a Manager Level. Do you have people you think would work with you as a consultant? Who you could bring along as warm contacts? That would get you situated more at a Director level.
