At Accurx, we're on a mission to make patients healthier and healthcare staff happier.

Who are Accurx?

We’re a fast-growing health technology company which makes it easier for patients and healthcare teams to communicate.

Accurx is where conversations happen with and about patients. Our software helps doctors, nurses, pharmacists and administrators and other professionals to seamlessly connect with both patients and each other.

Our mission is simple: everything we do is to make patients healthier and healthcare staff happier. Today, Accurx is used in 98% of GP practices nationwide and every day more healthcare professionals are using our software in hospitals, pharmacies, care homes and the community.

We’re passionate about staying close to our users, which is why everyone at Accurx visits a GP practice at least twice a quarter to understand how a practice runs, the difficulties they face with technologies and how we can help.

Although we’ve initially tackled the UK healthcare system, we have big ambitions to improve healthcare systems across the world in the future. If you want to hear from some of our Accufolk about what it's like to work for us, take a look at a video from our 2022 summer conference

  • Supporting the team to ship new features: Changing the app’s authentication to provide a more secure experience for users and trusts. Providing trusts with more visibility over changes made to their own directories. Integrating Switch with Accurx’s product suite.
  • Bug fixes: Identify and address bugs and issues within the application, ensuring a stable and error-free experience
  • Documentation: Create and update documentation for code changes, system architecture and processes.
  • Mobile Frontend support: Collaborate with Switch developers to support the frontend landscape, ensuring seamless integration between front and backend components.
