INFORM supports Communication in GP Waiting Rooms and Healthcare Settings Nationwide
Since 2002, INFORM — an Irish company — has supported communication within GP practices, healthcare centres and hospitals across Ireland. Today, INFORM services are present in over 950 GP and healthcare waiting rooms nationwide, helping to share clear information with patients while also supporting communication with healthcare professionals.
Practices use INFORM platforms to communicate notices, guidance and patient information in a clear and structured way. At the same time, INFORM works with trusted organisations to deliver carefully curated health, wellbeing and public awareness messages that are appropriate to the waiting room healthcare setting.
A Trusted Healthcare Environment
Healthcare waiting rooms are a unique communication setting — shaped by the professionalism of GP practices and healthcare teams, and defined by attention, trust and dwell time. Patients often arrive early for appointments and spend an average of around 20 minutes waiting before they are called, creating an opportunity for information to be noticed and considered.
INFORM works within this environment with care and respect. Our role is to support practices in strengthening their communication with patients, while enabling a limited number of carefully curated organisations to share trusted health, wellbeing and public awareness information within a clinical setting.
