The King’s Fund report, Lost in the System: The Need for Better Admin, highlights a longstanding issue within the NHS: administrative inefficiency. Patients are left in the dark about test results, referrals, and MDT decisions. This not only increases anxiety but also contributes to missed appointments, delayed diagnoses, and frustration among both patients and healthcare professionals. At Salutare we create software so that patients are not lost in the system. We call this healthcareful

The widening adoption of MDTs for patient review shows their popularity among senior administrators and doctors. But how efficient are they, really? Too many lack the critical information to reach a recommendation and usually only a small number of attendees speak up. Clinical staff should optimise them. Here’s where to start.
