Consultant Connect vs iArrest

The Consultant Connect App makes clinician-to-clinician communication simple. Whether you need Advice & Guidance from a local consultant or to quickly reach a GP practice, the App puts you in touch quickly and easily. Consultant Connect calls prioritise the use of your phone's internet connection rather than your mobile plan's voice minutes when we detect a good network connection (Note: Data charges may still apply. Contact your sim provider for details). The app also includes a Safe Clinical Photography (PhotoSAF) feature, which enables clinicians to take secure clinical photos and add notes on their smartphones. Images and notes are automatically stored in an IG secure and GDPR compliant cloud (not on your phone). They can then easily be accessed via a desktop PC and attached to e-RS or nhs.net emails. To get access to the Consultant Connect App, you must be within a participating NHS area. If you have any questions about the app or getting access to the app, please email the team at hello@consultantconnect.org.uk. Please note that available services on the app will vary depending on your area.

iArrest was developed to give healthcare professionals a powerful tool to navigate stressful and challenging cardiac arrest calls. Whether as a Paramedic on scene or as a clinician in hospital, this app can assist in running structured and effective adult cardiac arrest scenarios. Developed by clinicians working in large inner city teaching hospitals, this app takes into consideration the most recent Resuscitation Council (UK) Guidelines 2021. It serves as an aide-memoire for basic tasks that can easily be overlooked in stressful scenarios. iArrest also incorporates a number of timers to assist with rhythm analysis, adrenaline timings and arrest documentation. It will remind the user via audible and visual cues about necessary interventions even if a clinician’s phone is muted. iArrest has been programmed to prevent phones from going into sleep mode, in order to ensure continuous use throughout the arrest. iArrest will record the exact time an important event or an intervention has occurred and present the user with a detailed log of events. These logs can be copied to the clipboard and used for documentation and record keeping. iArrest is currently undergoing extensive testing in simulated and real world scenarios. We are continuously improving and expanding on iArrest’s functionality. Disclaimer: iArrest can not replace sound knowledge in Advance Life Support and should not be used by non-ALS trained clinicians. Use this app at your own risk and always use appropriate clinical judgement. Please familiarise yourself with the functionality of this app before using it in real life scenarios.
