IT and phones for West Devon healthcare practices

Patient data has to be protected and the appointment line has to answer. We build secure IT and reliable phone systems for the dental practices, vets and care providers Okehampton and West Devon depend on.

Okehampton's dental surgeries, veterinary practices and care providers serve a town and a rural catchment that reaches deep into Dartmoor and across West Devon. They all live with the same two non-negotiables: clinical records have to stay protected, and patients or owners have to be able to get through — and where the next practice can be a long drive across the moor, a line that's permanently engaged matters even more. We build IT and comms around both, so neither slips.

Patient data, properly protected

Clinical records are among the most sensitive data there is, and the duty to protect them is strict. We set up Microsoft 365 with secure access, tested backups and Cyber Essentials, so records stay private and you can evidence your compliance — and we keep the connectivity beneath your practice management software fast, so reception and clinicians aren't left waiting.

An appointment line that always answers

A constant engaged tone means lost appointments and frustrated patients. A cloud phone system with sensible routing and queueing gets callers to reception or the right department rather than a dead end. We support healthcare providers including Vetlink and the Dame Hannah Rogers Trust, so we know how a busy practice actually runs.

What we handle

What Okehampton healthcare businesses come to us for

Protecting patient and clinical data

Health records are highly sensitive and tightly regulated. We secure your Microsoft 365 access, protect the data and back it up, so patient information stays protected and your compliance is evidenced.

An appointment line that always answers

A constantly engaged line means lost appointments and frustrated patients. A cloud phone system with sensible routing and queueing means callers reach reception or the right department, not a dead end.

Practice management software

Your practice runs on its management and booking software. We keep the IT and connectivity underneath it fast and reliable, so the system clinicians and reception depend on stays up.

Cyber-attacks on healthcare

Healthcare is a prime ransomware target, and a hit can lock you out of patient records. Cyber Essentials, monitoring and tested backups close off the common routes in and get you back up quickly.

Reminders and recalls

Missed appointments cost time and money. We help your phone and IT setup support reminders and recalls, so patients turn up and chairs and rooms aren't left empty.
