Connect: transforming the performance of clinical engagement
iPLATO Connect is a two-way messaging solution that allows primary care establishments to seamlessly communicate with their patients, and patients to take an active, empowered role in their own health and wellbeing.
What is iPLATO Connect?

Connect now includes free NHS App integration, meaning GPs can engage with their patients on both the myGP app and NHS App.
How does it work?
iPLATO offers the most comprehensive NHS App messaging on the market. With increasing cost pressures mounting on an overwhelmed NHS, post-pandemic communication costs have only made things worse.

- Available for batch messaging, appointment reminders, Selfbook messages and patient questionnaire
- More secure than SMS
- Increased patient engagement
- Advanced features such as real-time read receipts and unlimited message length
Sending a batch messaging campaign could not be easier – just 3 simple steps is all it takes:

Why send Patient Questionnaires?
- Increase QOF points
- Save time by gathering vital patient data in advance of appointments
- Reduce practice admin
- Identify patients at risk of serious health conditions such as CVD, diabetes, obesity, and other comorbidities
