Patient Stories

Clinician Story

"Not only has it increased the efficiency with which we are able to address infections, access medication and ensure continuity of care for patients with long-term conditions, it’s also massively reduced the paper administrative burden and has greatly improved communication between our carers and our GPs. It’s removed a lot of guesswork as to whether we were making the right decision or not."

Kay Harrison, Care Home Manager, Manor Care Centre
