Introduction
Located in Sutton, Robin Hood Lane Health Centre serves a patient list of 15,000. A forward-thinking practice and one of our early adopters recognised the need for a more streamlined way of working in General Practice. Administrative tasks were significantly impairing operational efficiency. These time-consuming tasks were diverting precious resources away from patient care and service improvement.
Challenges
✲ Manual registrations take 30-60 minutes per case, creating administrative burdens as the practice grows.
✲ Despite strong scores in chronic illnesses, staff struggle to allocate sufficient time for specific QOF areas, potentially compromising comprehensive care.
✲ GPs and clinicians experience daily task overload, leading to increased stress and reduced efficiency.
Quote
“We want to do as much automation as possible. The more we can take away from GPs, clinical and administrative staff, the more we can focus on other things we want to achieve. We want to free up more staff time and improve patient care.”

Introduction
Vernon Park Surgery, a general practice in Stockport, with a patient list size of 3,283, sought innovative solutions to address staffing constraints and improve patient care. Discover how they leveraged automation to streamline manual processes and enhance their operational efficiency in this case study.
Challenges
✲ Small staff size (2 full-time nurses and 1 full-time GP) leads to a shortage of both nurses and GPs for administrative and clinical tasks.
✲ The GP Partner is the main clinician dealing with most of the administrative tasks and as a result, the workload can be crippling.
Quote
“Although the figures show how much savings we have made, it actually translates to an immense amount of stress relief for me, which money can’t quantify. So, thanks a lot for that.”
