Our services are used by the NHS, Social Services, Community Pharmacies and commercial healthcare companies.
We provide a range of innovative patient communication services to help improve productivity, quality and equity. These services are low cost and scalable, making it affordable to communicate with a large number of patients on a regular basis.
We design services that make it easy for patients to communicate with clinicians and healthcare providers. Some patients may be young and very familiar with digital technology, but many will also be elderly or disadvantaged and not have access to the latest communication devices. It is important therefore, that services are tailored to meet the needs of the patients. So we provide a range of communications media including automated voice, SMS and email. This means we are able to develop services that let patients choose the communication medium that is right for them as well as choosing the time of day that is most convenient. For patients who do not speak English we are also able to provide messaging services in their own language.
