Surgery Connect

Future-proof, secure GP telephony

Deployed across hundreds of UK practices, Surgery Connect is a future-proof, secure GP telephony solution which improves the patient experience, while driving efficient practice management and providing fully integrated remote working for GPs and staff. Surgery Connect guarantees more efficient practice management, and scalability supports growth across multiple practices and delivery of the integrated care agenda.

Surgery Connect provides quick and easy switching between audio and video at any time during a call with a patient, with all calls recorded and call data attached to the patient record. A full suite of web browser based Management Consoles provide a real-time view of call levels and staff activity, access to call flow management and extensive analytical reporting. Integration ensures practitioners are not switching between a patchwork of discrete applications.

Surgery Connect integrates with EMIS Web®, providing a seamless and time-saving way in which clinical and admin staff can access and record patient information during a call.

At a centralised level Surgery Connect generates analytics via the real-time performance dashboards, plus regional statistics, improvement metrics and the use of AI.

The solution is built on the latest call centre technology allowing for full IVR capabilities, automatic calendar control, intelligent queuing, call back functionality and many other features. All features are included as standard and any new features our development team release are to the service at no charge.
