Unlock access to the Integrated Clinical Advice Network
Where local clinicians are unavailable or there is limited or no local coverage in a specialty, GPs can now access the Integrated Clinical Advice Network.
The Integrated Clinical Advice Network is an innovative collaboration between Cinapsis & Xyla Elective Care.
Xyla Elective Care are trusted NHS elective care delivery partners serving acute and community settings. As part of Acacium group, they have access to the largest national network of consultants, nurses and AHPs.
We are collaborating to deliver several new care delivery models that are focused on integrating primary and secondary care.
The ICAN is an extension of our SmartReferrals app that helps unlock barrier-free communication across the NHS.
