(Alliance News) - Feedback PLC on Thursday said that it has signed a collaboration agreement with a provider of primary care solutions.
Feedback is a London-based company that provides innovative software and systems for use in a clinical setting.
According to the agreement, Feedback and the unnamed party will work together to explore opportunities for a novel neighbourhood diagnostics solution.
The purpose of this project is to streamline NHS diagnostic and pathway referrals between primary care, Community Diagnostic Centres, and secondary care, Feedback said.
Both parties will pilot the solution before pursuing broader opportunities for contracts. Feedback added that conversations with customer sites are already underway.
The firm added that the collaboration "provides a route to rapidly scale the Bleepa solution and pathway approach, leveraging the existing footprint of the party".
"This collaboration aligns to the Secretary of State's vision to move care out of traditional acute provider settings and into the community, closer to patients. If successful it will provide additional capacity to the NHS and help to overcome some of the difficulties being faced by CDCs, such as recruitment challenges, by enabling redirection to fully staffed facilities," said Chief Executive Officer Tom Oakley.
"It will also offer patients' choice and the convenience of attending their local high street for routine NHS investigations with, we believe, shorter wait times."
Shares in Feedback closed 5.2% lower at 45.05 pence each in London on Thursday.
