Transforming the way hospitals communicate with their patients
A patient communication platform that ensures more timely and ultimately more effective care for patients.
Why it matters
In 2019, there were 123.4 million outpatient appointments in UK hospitals, an increase of 65% over a 10 year period.
Over the same time period the increase in appointments “not attended“ has increased by 32% and cancellations by 150%.
This has resulted in unnecessarily long waiting lists, delays in treatment, and suboptimal health outcomes for patients.

Notifying patients when it is time to book their appointment—partial booking—is a good step. But Patient-led Booking takes this to a whole new level. It’s allowed us to reduce waiting lists and empower patients.”

What is often forgotten is that healthcare goes beyond treatments and procedures. Ultimately, it is about how human beings feel, and how much compassion we have for their needs.”
