Patient/Citizen Communications & Engagement Solutions

NHS SBS is seeking to put in place a comprehensive framework agreement for the supply of Patient Communications & Engagement Solutions. The framework aims to provide a simple, effective, efficient, and compliant route to market for the supply of communication methods to engage with patients, citizens and the workforce across NHS organisations and wider public sector bodies. It provides access to communications, alerts, reminders, and appointment technology, through a range of communication channels with Digital First, but ensuring inclusion is maximised by offering traditional methods such as Phone, Mail and SMS. Friends and Family Test (FFT) surveys can also be commissioned. The framework is in response to the need within the NHS for better pre and post appointment communications, supporting healthcare professionals to provide effective clinical care while improving clinical efficiency and safety to drive increases in patient satisfaction.
