Understanding SWOT analysis
SWOT analysis is regarded as the strategic planning and approach that is taken by the
organisation to understand about the company in a much better way. The SWOT analysis is
nothing but the one that is related to the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the
internal organisation (Martinez de Salazar and García Sanz-Calcedo, 2019). it is rather an
emphasis that is conducted to better know what the implementations are to withstands the
external pressures by maintain the same pace focusing upon more than the present approach. The
health care institutes are more often conducting an analysis because it is mandate to keep a check
upon the services since it is about dealing with the health of the people. The institute Guy’s and

the competition related to the other health care centres it must be able to produce a synopsis
about it s academic details related to the number of patients, the SWOT analysis, the income and
major information to make sure it is really reliable (Searle and et.al, 2019).

helps it to differentiate the institute from the existing organisations (Abedi and et.al, 2018). The
strengths of any organisation will enhance its productivity. The weaknesses will help to resolve
the pertaining issues and will help to solve them by adopting measures. The opportunities will
