Designed with frontline staff in mind, the app features an intuitive interface that requires minimal training – so nurses and coordinators can hit the ground running without added complexity.

Configurable by team or region

Tailor the app to meet the needs of different services or geographic areas. Whether it’s a district nursing team or a local care hub, you can customise features, content and notifications to suit.

By improving effective communication in healthcare, we help reduce stress, minimise errors and support better outcomes in community care settings.

Supporting effective communication in Health and Social care

In the community, care doesn’t stop at the clinic door. That’s why our app supports joined-up working across health and social care providers, giving nurses and coordinators the tools they need to collaborate with social workers, carers and families.

By improving communication in health and social care, our app helps build trust between teams, empowers patients and ensures everyone is on the same page – literally.

When communication breaks down, so does care. With our app, you can strengthen communication in healthcare, reduce time lost to admin and give staff more time for what really matters: patient care.
