More and more healthcare professionals in the UK are turning to Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger to communicate at work.

Since the 1960s and even till today, doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff in the UK are still expected to communicate at work via radio pagers, which is why most of them have switched to mobile instant messaging apps.

But the problem with these apps is that the patient data that's being put on these platforms isn’t being handled in a way that’s legal and safe, putting sensitive patient information at risk. They’re also not built with the kind of features to help doctors and nurses to be more efficient at their jobs.

Built by a team of tech-savvy junior doctors in the UK, Forward is an app for healthcare professionals to communicate with their teams as well as other healthcare professionals while sharing patient information securely and managing tasks more efficiently. Joining us on this episode of HealthRedesigned, Dr Barney Gilbert, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Forward.
