The challenge
Engagement too often starts from scratch each time, so relationships are lost between consultations and people drift away. Organisations need a space where the same people can stay involved over months and years, not just for one exercise.
Who it's for
Built for organisations that want a lasting relationship with the people they engage, including existing membership communities and panels.
Royal Colleges, professional bodies and membership organisations
Give your existing members or panels a space to stay involved between consultations.
ICBs and councils
Run longer-term transformation work and repeat consultation with the same residents, patients and staff.
Research consortia
Build a community of practice that keeps partners and contributors connected across a programme.
Medtech and pharmaceutical companies
Run patient or clinician panels and crowdsource stories from lived experience to inform your product at every stage of development.
Why run your community on Thiscovery
Ongoing involvement, not one-off consultation
Designed for complex, long-term involvement across multiple groups and teams.
Participants can lead
Members can start discussions, share resources and help shape priorities, not just answer questions.
Many ways to take part
Quick, small opportunities and deeper ones sit side by side, so people can share insight in the way that suits them, all in one place.
Keep members in the loop
Send regular digests, one-off notifications and customised emails through built-in, GDPR-compliant communication tools.
Built for health and care
Created by a University of Cambridge spin-out, supported by The Health Foundation, and designed to be secure and accessible.
