Agentic AI for NHS Patient Contact

Agentic communications in the NHS. Every channel. One platform.

Somewhere between the letter, the SMS, and the voicemail, the patient stopped trying. Our platform makes sure they don't have to.

The PATIENT EXPERIENCE PROBLEM

Every channel is telling the patient something different.

Most trusts run a separate system for each channel. Letters here. SMS there. The switchboard somewhere else entirely. Three places. Three sources of truth. When a patient rings to ask why their clinic letter contradicts their SMS reminder, the person who picks up doesn't have a chance.

clock-user
Phone lines struggle to keep up
Staff spend 40% of their day on calls that don't need a human. Some patients wait 45 minutes on-hold, most giving up. The trust pays for it.
Reduce
Bulk SMS, one-way messages
Per-fragment SMS costs. No way for patients to respond. The bill goes up every month - the outcomes don't.
UserFocus
Patients lost between channels
Your letter system doesn't know what SMS sent. SMS doesn't know about the missed call. Multiple platforms with zero handover.

Contact centre + agentic comms

Your contact centre isn't the problem. The volume reaching it is.

Your contact centre handles the calls that need a human. We handle the ones that don't - and when a patient does ring through, your team knows it's worth picking up.

01

Handles inbound and outbound calls - phones that never stop ringing

Stops the call happening in the first place

We work out what the patient needs and answer it before they reach for the phone.

02

Routes patients through queues to available staff, where they often wait again

Reaches patients before they ever need to queue

SMS, voice, letters, NHS App, portal messaging. We pick the channel that suits each patient. If it isn't landing, we switch.

03

Handles calls one at a time - limited by the staff available to answer

Stops the work hitting your team

We don't speed it up. We resolve it at source. Your call handlers spend their day on the calls that actually need them.

04

Built for handling calls - but not always with clinical context

Treats every patient as someone on a pathway

We know where they are in their care journey, and what's coming next. We know what's safe to say, with clinical context always on hand.

05

Sits separately from your clinical systems

Sits inside HybridOS, not next to it

One place for every decision, every message, every escalation. Already talking to your PAS, your EPR, the NHS App, and the rest.

AGENTIC VOICE

It's not the phone, it's what's behind it

Trusts spend a fortune every year on staff to handle calls, manage waiting lists, and chase patients who never pick up. Swap those staff for a robot and you save a bit. Fix the system underneath and you save properly.

Our agentic voice is plugged into your booking rules, your pathways, and your clinical systems. Calls that don't need a human don't get one. The ones that do, get one with the full patient record already on the screen.

Intevene
Sounds like a person, not a menu tree Handles thousands of patient calls a week, with the patience your team can't always afford to have.
Hospital-1
Handles the routine so your team doesn't have to FAQ, rescheduling, prep instructions - all sorted without any human needed on the other line.

INTELLIGENT CHANNEL ORCHESTRATION

Every channel has a role. The intelligence is in choosing the right one.

We don't blast everything, everywhere - we start with the cheapest channel that's likely to work. Watch how the patient responds. Switch if it isn't landing. Escalate when self-serve breaks down or safety needs a human. Clinical context shapes every step, not just send rules.

01
SMS

Appointment invite

Referral triggers pathway. SMS sent with booking link — lowest cost, highest open rate.

Lowest-cost first Fast + low effort
02
Patient Portal

Patient self-books

Opens link, picks a slot. EPR updated. Confirmation sent. Zero admin effort.

Self-serve Reduces call volume
03
NHS App

Pre-op form pushed

Timed trigger — 7 days before. Health questionnaire via NHS App. Data writes to EPR.

Universal reach Structured data capture

SMS

48hr reminder

Patient confirms via text reply. Consistent messaging across every touchpoint.

Voice

Escalation call

No SMS response? The platform escalates to voice — calling the patient to confirm, reschedule, or capture a safety concern.

Escalation Safety net
07
Letter

Appointment details + prep

Digital letter with prep instructions. Print fallback when digital isn’t available. Both tracked.

Digital first Inclusive fallback

HUMAN + AI COLLABORATION

Clinical decisions are for people, not the platform

Clinical decisions stay where they belong. With people. Every automated action is logged and every escalation lands in front of someone with full context attached. Your team sets the rules, reviews the exceptions, and gets the final say.

The platform handles volume. Your team handles judgement.

BUILT IN THE NHS, FOR THE NHS

Every channel you need, talking to the systems you already run

13 years of NHS integration work behind us. 20+-EPR and PAS systems already connected. DTAC-aligned and ISO-certified. Live across 70+ NHS trusts. The compliance the NHS expects from day one.

EVERY CHANNEL, CONNECTED

Voice is one channel of many

Every patient channel runs through the same platform. Each one with its own job.

SMS

Smart, two-way, and always on

Patients confirm or reschedule with a reply. Responses are understood and routed automatically. If SMS doesn't land, the platform knows - and escalates.

001 - 2way SMS-May-05-2026-09-31-03-0148-AM
DIGITAL LETTERS

Paper when needed, digital by default

Letters dispatched digitally to the patient portal, with automated print fallback for patients who need post. Every letter tracked from send to open.

002 - Digital letter-May-05-2026-09-46-38-0314-AM
PATIENT PORTAL MESSAGING

Two-way, unified messaging inbox

Patients ask questions, get updates, or flag concerns - all within the platform. Staff respond from a unified inbox. Threaded, auditable, no phone tag.

003 -  Portal msgs-4
NHS APP

Another familiar front door

Push notifications, appointment details, forms, and results -all delivered through the channel patients already know. Data flows back to the EPR.

004 - NHS app-4

FIXED COMMS LICENCE

Your costs shouldn't grow every time you reach a patient

Per-fragment SMS. Print costs. Call handling. Every channel a separate invoice that climbs with every patient you talk to. We replace all of it with one annual licence. We do the optimising so your costs stays flat.

CPaaS
