Formic's flexible technology delivers multichannel patient experience surveys quickly and at scale, and is used by over 200 NHS and public sector customers to turn patient experience data into insight, support GP revalidation and provide the foundation for immediate and sustained quality and service improvement.
Available onsite, hosted or as a completely managed solution, our patient experience software validates data on entry and is fast, accurate, and works across paper and digital channels to deliver reliable data capture, analysis and reporting for care providers across health and care settings.
Formic supports paper, online, tablet, kiosk and touchscreen formats, and has the ability to synchronise surveys across these channels so that responses from one or multiple organisations are consistent and fed into a central database to make analysis straightforward.
Our solutions also allow users to build and design an unlimited number of their own surveys, or choose from an extensive library of templates. Survey authors can select from a range of inclusive response formats, such as large print and child-friendly images, to ensure the maximum number of replies.

Formic is ISO27001 certified and works safely and securely with your IT systems, and can either be installed on your organisation’s IT infrastructure, or be hosted and accessed via the cloud.
As well as supporting patient and staff experience surveys, our technology can help you deliver Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs), and Patient-Centric Outcome Measures (PCOMs), as well as the Friends and Family Test and clinical audit.
