Induction Healthcare’s renewed contract with NHS Scotland and the Scottish Government ensures a consistent revenue stream of £2m through Induction Attend Anywhere, a remote consultation tool.
Induction Attend Anywhere (AA), the remote consultation solution has successfully obtained another year with NHS Scotland and the Scottish Government.
With the contract extension, AA secures its position with NHS Scotland as the preferred remote consultation platform.
The contract between AA and NHS Scotland will generate £2m in revenue for Induction Healthcare.
Induction Healthcare aims to provide a platform for virtual patient care to help the healthcare systems digitalise all over the world.
Induction’s newly introduced clinical group consultations, where one-on-one consultations take place in a group environment of patients with comparable clinical issues, will be included in the renewed contract.
The Scottish Government extended their contract with Induction Healthcare to continue the delivery of remote consultations for the non-health public sector support.
The virtual consultations are meant to aid Scotland’s social security system with the possible opportunity of more contracts in the future.
The Department of Work and Pension decided to incorporate Induction Attend Anywhere for two years to enable the digital transformation of the UK benefits system in November 2021.
Induction Attend Anywhere
Attend Anywhere is a video consultation service, which is gaining traction in non-healthcare contexts.
Through the platform, patients and doctors can conduct a video consultation which saves time, energy and money for both parties.
Before the pandemic, the service was originally launched to the NHS in Scotland in 2016, providing the ‘blueprint’ for NHS England.
All 14 regional health boards have implemented Induction Attend Anywhere in Scotland and branded as ‘Near Me’.
NHS Wales also renewed its existing contract with Induction in July 2021, with an upgrade and increase of its present scope, resulting in the widespread use of AA and other Induction products across Wales.
The programme has saved the environment roughly 47m miles of patient transport.
Between January 2021 and January 2022, over 985,000 Near Me video consultations were conducted.
James Balmain, Chief Executive Officer, Induction Healthcare, commented, “Scotland has been a pioneer in driving remote consultations in the UK and was the home for our first major national contract for Induction Attend Anywhere.”
“With the support of NHS Scotland and the Scottish Government, we have shown that our products can be relied upon to deliver digital transformation strategies both within and beyond healthcare settings.”
“Induction remains on course to deliver very significant revenue growth this year in line with market expectations.”
“These contract renewals are the first positive milestones in our renewal strategy and set out the pattern we expect to see across a very high proportion of our existing contracts in England.”
