Our purpose

Medicine has never known so much. We have treatments that protect the heart, the kidneys and the brain, and guidelines that set out who stands to benefit from them. Yet many people living with long-term conditions are still not receiving the evidence-based care they need. The challenge is to bring that knowledge to the patient, at the moment it can make a difference.

I have experienced first-hand the pressure that we in primary care work under: assessing several conditions at once, keeping up with evidence that is constantly changing, and making sound decisions within minutes, often in overstretched surgeries. When the system makes that work harder, patients and clinicians alike bear the consequences.

We created DR COMPASS® to change that.

Our commitment is to patients, who deserve the best available care wherever they live; to clinicians, who deserve support rather than a heavier workload; to general practices, which deserve consistency and confidence; and to the health system as a whole, which cannot afford the consequences of delayed care.

Care should not be compromised by circumstance or by workload pressure. At DR COMPASS®, we work with scientific rigour, independence and humility, so that optimal care becomes the norm.
