Cuttsy + Cuttsy

We are the original patient communications agency specialising in clinical trial engagement and healthcare communications for patients and HCPs.

We invested in the importance of patient engagement and centricity in communications many years ago because our insights told us we were onto something. It’s something we still live by today, investing in ways that we can embed and work with new and cutting-edge AI technologies, rather than against them.

Because powerful tools, when teamed with the human touch, can strike very loud and lasting chords with your target audience.

We are clinical trial engagement and education specialists.

The work we do supports clinical trial recruitment and retention by employing channel agnostic strategies and communications that cut through the complex.

Because when simplified and easy-to-understand content is the norm, HCPs feel supported, more patients are recruited, and engagement levels remain high all round.

We are leaders in healthcare communications.

We pioneered co-creation, embedded emotional intelligence in our processes and were the first to author disease awareness books combining health literacy, design principles and data visualisation.

Because when healthcare communication challenges can be solved creatively and collaboratively, we’re truly able to make a difference to the lives of healthcare professionals, patients, and their families and carers.

As a company who believe that people and their world matters, we are serious about tackling climate change. We have committed to becoming a net zero agency. We will achieve this through accurate carbon disclosures with CDP (Carbon Disclosure Protocol) and verifiable science-based targets with SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative).
