NHS commissioners explain why they like our services…
Consultant Connect
Our immediate Advice & Guidance services enable clinicians to communicate quickly with specialists by phone, instant message and photo-message. In addition our PhotoSAF feature on the Consultant Connect App solves the problem of clinical photos being taken on personal mobiles.
By having immediate and direct access to specialist advice, clinicians can ensure that patients get the right care first time. As this often means that patients avoid unnecessary trips to hospital, the NHS saves money and hospital specialists spend their time dealing with patients that they need to see. It’s a great outcome for everyone.
