iPlato provides a trusted solution to more than 2000 GP practices across the UK. Our solution allows practices to communicate directly with their patients via SMS or Data services. Appointment reminders with direct cancellation functionality can be combined with online services via our myGP App, for which patients can self-register for reducing demands on the practice. We can also provide enhanced functionality such as Triage/Online consultation. iPlato are GPSoC, G-Cloud and DPS compliant.
