Features · Patient communication
One inbox for every patient conversation.
Send email and SMS straight from the patient record, with questionnaires, documents and booking tasks carried by secure expiring links. Responses land back in a shared team inbox, and every send, delivery and reply is logged to the record automatically.
Hi Priya - before Thursday's appointment, please complete this short pre-operative assessment.

How it works
From "send" to "saved to the record".
Four steps, in the order they happen. The practice composes once; the patient gets a secure link; the response comes back to the team; the record keeps the whole story.
Step 1
Compose once, from the record
Hi {{patient.first_name}} - before your appointment on {{appointment.start_time}}, please complete the assessment below.
Step 2
The patient gets a secure link, not an attachment
Hi Priya - before your appointment on Thursday 10:30, please complete the assessment below.
Step 3
Responses come back to the team, already triaged
Step 4
The record keeps the whole story

Whichever channel a message travels by, it lands in the same conversation, on the same record. You choose the channel per message; the patient's preferences are respected either way.
Built-in email, sent from the practice. Opens tracked per message.
UK SMS under your sender ID, with per-message delivery receipts.
Practice-branded, behind a one-time code. Messages, appointments, invoices.
Expiring links carry questionnaires, documents and booking tasks.
