Common questions about Virtual CTO services for healthcare organisations
A Virtual CTO provides senior technology leadership and strategic guidance on a part-time or project basis rather than as a full-time employee.

You get executive-level expertise without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.
Virtual CTO pricing depends on the level of engagement required and complexity of your organisation. Costs typically range from £2,000-£8,000 per month depending on time commitment and scope.
