Here at The Princess Grace Hospital we love technology and pride ourselves on often being the first to make the latest innovations available to our doctors and patients. We have led the field with digital mammography, robotic surgery and most recently low-dose CT scanning. Now I’m very excited to announce our new iPhone app – which we think is another first for a private hospital.
We’ve called our iPhone app PG DOCTOR and its main function is give GPs fast and easy access to our database of private specialists as well as a direct line into the hospital facilities and to our Urgent Care Centre.
Using the app, GPs can search for consultants by name or treatment area, view full background and contact details, including NHS base – and book appointments or emergency admissions through HCA Connect our central booking service.
Doctors feature strongly amongst the early adopters of iPhone technology and there have been almost 5,000 medical apps developed so far. As well as saving valuable time for busy GPs, we’re hoping that PGDoctor will enhance the referral process by them to locate the right consultant for a particular patient condition. Then it’s simply a case of contacting us directly from the PGDoctor app and we can do the rest from here.
You can download PGDoctor from the iTunes store – for free, of course.
