We made it to the end of another year! As 2024 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on another remarkable year of growth, innovation, and teamwork. Here are just a few of our favourite highlights from the past year: 1️⃣ This summer, we launched our Life After Stroke pathway in partnership with NHS Lothian and Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland. The pathway is currently being piloted across Lothian, with plans to expand into Fife in the new year. 2️⃣ We were honoured to be nominated for three major awards – and even brought one home! Being recognised at the ScotlandIS Digital Awards, the Scottish Health Awards, and the GP Awards for our work supporting people living with Long Covid was a fantastic achievement, and we are proud to continue this important work. 3️⃣ This year saw us taking Tailored Talks to an international audience, with trips to Australia and Barcelona for conferences, networking, and pitch events. 🇦🇺🇪🇸 4️⃣ At the start of the year, our Commander in Chief Jack Francis was accepted onto the prestigious NHS Innovation Accelerator programme, and has been spending time participating in NIA events and networking with the 2024 cohort. 5️⃣ Alongside our healthcare projects, Pogo Studio delivered exceptional work for our agency clients across sectors including e-commerce, education, and social enterprise. From bespoke web development to branding and consultant, we're proud of the impact we've made for organisations both large and small. 6️⃣ In October, we were delighted to welcome back our wonderful Account Director, Zoë Strong, from maternity leave – and to meet Pogo’s newest (and cutest!) mascot 👶 7️⃣ Thanks to the creative genius of Darren Wilson, we unveiled two new websites for Pogo Studio and Pogo Digital Healthcare. 8️⃣ The Pogo team bonded by losing several pub quizzes, drinking a fair amount of beer, and playing a tense game of crazy golf (Kate Ballantyne remains the reigning champ 🏆) 9️⃣ Finally, we relocated to our new base in St Andrew Square, joining the RBS Accelerator programme – an exciting move for Pogo Studio and the team. Here’s to an even bigger and better 2025! 🎉 Jack Francis Jack Fisher Darren Wilson Neil Francis Lee Jackson Zoë Strong David Sutcliffe-Ferguson

Pogo Digital Healthcare reposted this
Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Health Tech Forward conference in Barcelona, where I was pitching on stage as one of the 8 businesses in the chronic conditions category. The conference was a great opportunity to connect with other startups, potential investors and leading industry partners- the fact it was in sunny Barcelona was certainly an added bonus! Sadly, we didn’t take home the victory, but the Prosecco at the networking dinner more than made up for it

Last week, our Account Director Zoë Strong was in Liverpool for the UK Stroke Forum, where she presented our Life After Stroke Pathway as part of a cross-organisational team. This year’s conference was filled with energy and purpose as we tackled big questions in stroke care: 💡 How can innovation improve post-discharge care? 💡 How do we better support families and communities, especially those in hard-to-reach groups? 💡 How can communication be made more effective throughout recovery? Hearing firsthand about how the pathway is supporting patients and families was incredibly rewarding. With 40% of stroke patients at Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary accessing Tailored Talks post-discharge, we're seeing early signs of meaningful impact. Creating integrated, patient-centered solutions takes time, collaboration, and perseverance. We’re proud to be part of a cross-sector effort driving real change in stroke recovery—and we can’t wait to share more in 2025. 💜 Read Zoë's run down of the conference: tps://https://lnkd.in/e4Y-QMap #strokerecovery #lifeafterstroke #TailoredTalks #UKSF2024

Thank you to Dr Maeve May from the Stroke Association for a really interesting session "Shaping the Future: Stroke and the 10-Year Health Plan". #UKSF24 Whilst I'm not convinced that my table came up with all of the answers; it was great to discuss such an important topic with individuals from across sectors and professions- academia, medicine, physiotherapy, third sector and commercial (including Pogo Digital Healthcare ). Our group identified that the most important, yet the hardest area to research was the first year, post-discharge. It's great to know that our work with Tailored Talk supports stroke patients at this critical time.
