Features
Integrated Virtual Pathway Redesign
Our team of clinical and technical experts will design a service-specific pathway to improve efficiency and deliver the best possible care.
Our pathways are always lean, innovative and
best-in-class.
Waiting List Validation
Virtual Lucy Clinical Validation can be done seamlessly via a phone or video consultation, with auto generated letters shared with the patient and the GP. We can Clinically Validate a Surgical waiting list in just a few weeks, making sure that the most appropriate patients get access to surgical intervention first using the standardised P1-6 FSSA Pandemic scoring tool.
Digital Triage
Patients are asked to complete a short series of questions to determine the correct specialist for their problem. This could be a physiotherapist, an Advance practice physiotherapist or a Consultant depending on the problem.
Electronic Appointment Booking
Patients are then instantly directed to the online booking booking system and can choose from a range of available clinicians. Each clinician has a profile and a picture to help the patient make the right choice for them. Appointments can be via either video or phone.
Pre-Assessment
Before the consultation patients a prompted to complete some general health questions and
some problem specific questions. This allows the clinician to have a good understanding of the patient problem prior to the consultation.
Accelerated Specialist Assessment
Each patient has an assessment with the correct specialist. During the consultation the clinician they will agree a diagnosis and management plan or refer on for diagnostics or face to face consultation. All notes are recorded in real time and appointment letter is generated and shared with the patient instantly at the end of the appointment.
Diagnostics Referral & Review
If the patient requires further investigations, like an MRI scan they can be referred to a local centre instantly during the consultation. All scans are uploaded into our cloud based PACS system and can be shown to the patients via a secure sharing link so that the patient and clinician can both see and discuss the images during the consultation.
Rehabilitation
Our integrated rehab application contains various
evidence-based customisable rehab plans.
Patients can view and track their exercises,
record important things like pain and chat to their therapist via instant messaging.
Patient Portal with Shared Notes
Each case shows as a timeline of events on the patients portal, so that patients know exactly what is happening next. They can access all the appointment documents, reports and images securely in one place.

I’ve done the telephone consultations that were sent over to me. They all went very well and I think the patients found it to be a very positive experience, particularly in the current environment where face to face consultations are not available.”

Patient feedback
I was relieved to at last speak to someone who understood my condition. I had been seeing a physio who was I believe making my condition worse by giving me advanced exercises. Gary has given mebasic stretches and simple exercises and the results have been very good. After a short time I was pain free and sleeping much better.’
