Does the timing of surveys matter?

Last week, Josh, who leads our London-based account management team, mentioned an interesting snippet from one of our clients which brought to life an important attribute of a well-designed patient experience (PREMs) programme. Our recommendations to clients are based on published evidence and also our experience from across our client base of what works and what doesn’t. We ...

Quarterly Reflections

The borders are open, but do we need to leave? With borders opening up around the world, it's been interesting to see how quickly the business world has leapt at the chance to head overseas. Planes are filled with people visiting clients, introducing partners and meeting staff for the first time. And I'm not immune – I've just booked ...

95% response rate is possible

We always get a lot of questions about when and how to send surveys (i.e., survey timing post-discharge, email vs SMS), which questions to use (i.e., general, or condition-specific validated question sets) and what they should look like to be mobile and patient-friendly. But above all else, the questions we seem to get the most are always: “What ...

Gender and Ethnicity

So, I recently had one of my worst fears realised: someone called a survey of mine racist. Now for any survey creator or anyone whose work is shared publicly, in terms of social crimes, when you're criticised of offending or excluding members of society, it doesn't get much worse than that.

How can tracking symptoms and outcomes better support people living with long-term conditions?

Breaking Burnout

As nations around the world begin to emerge from lockdown and assess the economic, social, and mental ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no doubt that some nations were more successful in limiting the spread and damage of the virus than others. It has been a surreal experience, sitting in my home office in London and talking daily ...

Now is the time to care for carers

Over past months, our healthcare workers have been asked to sacrifice their family life and personal health to care for our vulnerable loved ones. It is a powerful reminder that a healthcare system is only as good as its dedicated carers.

Why and how to measure staff engagement

A workforce under pressure With increasing pressure on the healthcare workforce, the issue of staff engagement is coming more sharply into focus. Across all sectors, the physical and mental wellbeing of employees are predictors of desirable organisational outcomes such as effectiveness, productivity and innovation.
