Digital platform aims to transform patient safety and recall systems in general practice

BookYourGP, developed by Hummingbirds Medical, is a fully automated patient review and recall system.

The platform enables GP practices to organise, coordinate, automate, and monitor all reviews in one place, with full visibility of due, overdue, and high-risk recalls. It is fully compliant with NHS DCB0129 safety standards.

The system comes preloaded with 86 registers and 35 default parameters, covering conditions such as asthma, COPD, diabetes, dementia, frailty, cardiovascular risk, and mental health. In an average 8,500-patient practice, it automatically tracks between 500,000 and 800,000 data points, with risk stratification and safety flags ensuring high-risk patients are prioritised.

Its Skills Matrix matches patients to the right clinician and appointment length, while real-time dashboards give oversight of every recall.

In addition, seamless integration with EMIS and SystmOne through NHS Digital ensures smooth adoption.

On average, practices save 3,000 appointments and 500 staff hours per year, according to Hummingbirds Medical.

Dr Rakeeb Chowdhury, founder of Hummingbirds Medical and practising GP, said: ‘Recalls are not just administrative tasks, they are the foundation of safe, proactive care.

‘BookYourGP ensures every patient is monitored, prioritised, and seen at the right time by the right clinician. This is about improving patient outcomes while supporting practices under unprecedented strain.'

The platform has already been recognised by Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber, Propel Digital Accelerator, the RCGP IMP accelerator, and the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme.
