Health Connect
Delivering virtual access to care
NHS England launched the NHS Long Term Plan, which commits to redesigning services, reducing face to face consultations and provides new ways of accessing services, such as video consultations.
Health Connect provides secure video consultation between healthcare professionals and patients who need to connect, without being in the same place.

Digital access
Health Connect extends the reach of services, enabling patients to seek professional support from the comfort of their own surroundings and improve access to care. A patient can simply connect via their smartphone or device.
Creating efficiencies
Health Connect reduces barriers, complexities, time and cost for patients, their carers and healthcare providers. This makes it easy for patients to access a wide range of health services remotely.
Adaptable
Health Connect is used in NHS and public sector organisations, such as mental health, outpatients, smoking cessation, dermatology, GP consultations, care home and pharmacy settings. It can also be used for other industries and use cases where virtual consultations are a key part of the patient or delivery experience.
