      What is Cinapsis SmartReferrals?

       

      Cinapsis SmartReferrals is an advice and guidance platform enabling primary care clinicians to get specialist advice remotely and triage patients into the right care.

      What's our story?

       

      Cinapsis was born out of the frustration of one doctor with NHS's broken referral management system. Seeing that patients often had to wait months to be seen by a specialist, when often a picture or phone call from their GP would have been enough to advise on patient management, he understood there must be a better way of doing this. Working together with William Lee on development, Dr Owain Rhys Hughes saw his idea take shape in Cinapsis SmartReferrals.

      Founded in 2015, we have been working with GPs and consultants from different specialties over the years to understand what makes each specialty unique. We have developed the app to accommodate various channels of communication in order to give GPs quicker access to specialists. We've enabled everyone to use their smartphones and other devices securely and allowed clinicians to work remotely.

       

      Since the beginning of 2019, we've been working with the NHS starting in Acute Medicine and growing to include Acute Paediatrics, Respiratory, Dermatology, Frailty, Trauma & Orthopaedics with more services to come onboard. We have achieved what we have set out to do in streamlining the referral process and making clinicians' lives easier. As a result of our work together, Gloucestershire ICS has seen a reduction of 83% of A&E referrals from Primary Care and 70% fewer face-to-face appointments for dermatology.

       

      Now we are enabling healthcare professionals to continue supporting their colleagues in Primary Care and Trust settings even if self-isolating due to Covid-19.

      What values underpin our work?

       

      Our vision is to enable any patient to get the right care, first time, as soon as they need it. We are achieving this by making it easy for clinicians to connect locally inthe most seamless way for any specialty. Our core values are evident in everything we do at Cinapsis: integrity, customer focus, passion
