Leading provider of cutting-edge cloud technology solutions, Content Guru, has been awarded a place on the 2021 the NHS Shared Business Services Patient/Citizen Communications and Engagement Solutions Framework.

The framework aims to provide a simple and compliant route for NHS organizations and wider public sector bodies to procure communication technology, enabling them to engage with patients, citizens and their workforces. It provides access to communications, alerts, reminders, and appointment technology, through a range of communication channels with a Digital First approach, while ensuring inclusion is maximized by offering traditional methods such as Phone, Mail and SMS.

Content Guru’s award-winning storm® cloud communications solution has been accepted onto 6 lots in the framework: Email, SMS, IVR, surveys and feedback (including the Friends and Family Test – FFT) and all-in-one combined solution and advisory/digital transformation.

Throughout COVID-19, storm enabled NHS 111 London to scale up to handle an increase in call volumes of up to 500% as the pandemic hit the capital. Content Guru also developed the innovative storm LINKTM On-Demand Video Consultation service for HUC, the provider of NHS 111 telephone and General Practitioner (GP) out-of-hours services for over 3.3 million people in the East of England. storm LINK enables HUC’s clinicians to conduct instant consultations via video, without the need for patients to make appointments or install mobile applications.

Martin Taylor, Deputy CEO and Co-Founder at Content Guru, commented: “Content Guru is delighted to be accepted onto the Patient/Citizen Communications and Engagement Solutions Framework. Helping the NHS to enhance interactions with citizens as they access the healthcare system has been a primary focus for Content Guru both prior to, and in response to the pandemic. Supporting healthcare professionals to provide effective clinical care while improving clinical efficiency and safety is key to driving improvements in patient satisfaction. As a supplier of world-beating technology which facilitates this, Content Guru is grateful to be awarded a place onto a framework offering NHS organizations a simple and easy way to procure our solutions.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
