Double honours for Incisive Health at Communiqué 2016

There were double honours for Incisive Health at last night's Communiqué Awards, where it picked up Specialist Consultancy of the Year and the Small Consultancy of the Year.

The company also received two further prizes at the ceremony in London, winning Writing Excellence - General and Excellence in Communications - Payers/Policy Makers.

Commenting on Incisive Health's Specialist Consultancy win, the Communiqué judges said: “This consultancy had a really strong balance of credibility and agility. They had huge depth of expertise and it was really clear that this came through in their client satisfaction rates and their referral rates.

“As a business they are absolutely on it and they are delivering strong growth. Very importantly they're involving their team in identifying and addressing business challenges to excellent effect.”

During 2015 and one of the most uncertain elections on record, as well as an increasingly tight financial environment for the NHS, Incisive Health still managed grow by over a quarter, breaking through the £3m barrier.

Meanwhile, commenting on its win in the Small Consultancy category, the Communiqué judges noted that “the diverse nature of outcomes produced was incredibly impressive and showed how making a real difference in the industry is a priority for the team”.

The London-based health policy and communications consultancy was also rewarded with the Writing Excellence - General prize for the My Crohn's and Colitis Care work, undertaken for for Crohn's and Colitis UK, with a grant from AbbVie.

The team's other campaign award was in Excellence in Communications - Payers/Policy Makers for Molecular diagnostics: a precision approach to policymaking on behalf of BIVDA (the British In Vitro Diagnostics Association).

Run by PMLiVE's publisher the PMGroup, the Communiqué Awards are specifically designed to recognise and commend excellence and best practice in local, European and international healthcare communications.
