Accurx
Accurx builds communication software connecting GPs, hospital staff, specialists and patients within the NHS, used by over 98% of GP practices in England.
Accurx develops communication software for the NHS. Founded in 2016 by Jacob Haddad and Laurence Bargery, the company builds tools that connect everyone involved in a patient's care - GPs, hospital staff, specialists and patients - replacing fragmented communication systems with simple messaging. Its work spans healthcare communication software, messaging platforms, healthcare IT systems and patient engagement platforms, serving primary care, hospitals and community care across England.
The company's principal product is the Accurx communication platform, which is used by more than 98% of GP practices in England. Accurx also built a vaccine booking system during the pandemic in four weeks, which helped manage nearly 30 million vaccinations. Both products sit within the NHS technology estate, touching clinical workflows and patient records across the English health system.
Accurx describes its product development as empathy-driven: the founders spent time in GP practices observing how healthcare staff actually work before designing software. The stated approach is pragmatic and incremental, focused on making the everyday work of healthcare easier rather than on headline features. The company's culture signals include a mission-driven focus on healthcare communication and a capacity for rapid execution, demonstrated by the delivery of the vaccine booking system within a single month.
