Reducing demand through patient information

Reducing demand through patient information


HCI enables the NHS to reduce demand, waiting lists and backlogs.

We achieve this by giving patients the information and support they need to confidently manage their care at home.

Our CONNECTPlus platform and our comprehensive library of over 1,000 patient-centric videos, deliver a significant return on investment and accelerate the shift to digital healthcare.

A single system for any condition or treatment for maximum impact on backlogs and waiting lists
