Digital solutions
Fortify Clinic recognises that in some specialties, workforce capacity alone, even when supported by insourcing, cannot keep pace with the demands of an ageing population and increasingly complex patient needs.
Rising referral volumes, constrained clinical availability, and growing pathway complexity mean that additional approaches are required to maintain timely access to safe, high-quality care.
Expanding capacity through digital innovation
Fortify Clinic’s commitment to patient safety and timely access has driven our ongoing investment in digital capacity solutions that complement traditional clinical delivery models.
Our digital solutions are designed to support NHS Trusts by improving efficiency, reducing unnecessary face-to-face activity, and enabling clinicians to focus their time where it is most needed.
Supporting access without compromising safety
Digital pathways implemented by Fortify Clinic are clinically led and governed, ensuring that patient safety remains central at all times. Digital solutions are not used as a replacement for clinical care, but as an enabler of more effective triage, review, and follow-up.
By identifying patients who can be safely managed remotely or through streamlined pathways, we help reduce bottlenecks and improve access for those who require in-person care.
Examples of digital capacity solutions
Depending on local need and specialty, Fortify Clinic can support NHS Trusts with digital approaches including:
- Remote consultations where clinically appropriate
- Digital triage and referral review
- Patient Initiated Follow Up pathways
- One stop clinic models supported by digital pre-assessment
- Virtual post-operative and follow-up reviews
These models help optimise clinic utilisation, reduce DNA rates, and improve patient experience.
Integrated with NHS systems and governance
All digital solutions delivered by Fortify Clinic operate within NHS systems and local governance frameworks. Pathways are designed in collaboration with Trust clinical leaders and management teams to ensure alignment with local policies, information governance standards, and clinical oversight.
Digital activity is monitored, audited, and reviewed as part of Fortify Clinic’s wider governance framework.
Improving productivity and patient experience
By combining digital solutions with insourced clinical capacity, Fortify Clinic supports NHS Trusts in delivering sustainable improvements in productivity and access. Patients benefit from faster access to advice and care, fewer unnecessary visits, and clearer communication throughout their pathway.
Our approach ensures that digital innovation delivers measurable value for patients, clinicians, and healthcare organisations.
A flexible and evolving approach
Fortify Clinic understands that digital maturity varies across organisations and specialties. Our digital solutions are flexible and scalable, allowing Trusts to adopt approaches that align with local readiness and priorities.
We continue to explore and evaluate emerging digital models that support safe elective recovery and improve access while maintaining clinical quality and governance.
