Jonathan Serjeant is a GP and one of Here’s co-founders. In this podcast, where he is interviewed by Ben Gowland of Ockham Healthcare he talks about the development of our Workflow solution, a system by which practice administration staff are trained and supported to read, code, and action incoming clinical correspondence safely and accurately in order to help free up GP appointment time.

Jonathan tells Ben everything you need to know about the system and the crucial impact it is having on GP practices across the UK.
