Doc Abode

Doc Abode is a rapidly growing health tech company helping the NHS to work differently , building solutions that enable an NHS workforce fit for the future , and providing better care for NHS patients . The company was founded in 2016 by Dr Taz Aldawoud , an entrepreneurial GP who has also held a range of regional and national roles in the NHS . We spoke to Taz about how Doc Abode was created to improve workforce capacity and cut the time patients were waiting for out-of-hours home visits .
Through the multi-award-winning Doc Abode platform , healthcare providers are able to improve the day-to-day efficiency of their available workforce . The platform matches NHS patient requirements to the most relevant available clinicians based on attributes such as expertise and language , promoting more personalised delivery of care .
Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber has been instrumental in supporting Doc Abode from the beginning of their innovation journey , from proof-of-concept development through to gathering real-world evidence to support the scale up and spread of their technology in the North of England and further afield .
