Accurx is a London-based health technology company founded in 2016 by Jacob Haddad and Laurence Bargery. It builds communication and workflow software for the NHS, connecting GPs, hospital staff, specialists, and patients through a single platform. The company's roots lie in direct observation: early on, the team spent time inside GP practices studying how care was coordinated, identifying problems such as nurses spending hours on phone calls that could have been handled by simple messages, and patients falling through the gaps between disconnected services.
The platform has achieved significant penetration across the NHS. Over 98% of GP practices in England now use Accurx, and the company has since expanded into hospitals and community care settings. Its technical domains include clinical workflow software, digital communication platforms, patient engagement tools, and health IT integration. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Accurx built a vaccine booking system in four weeks; the system went on to help manage nearly 30 million vaccinations.
Accurx operates across primary care, secondary care, and public health. Its stated purpose is to make NHS communication work better - reducing friction between care settings and between clinicians and patients. The company describes its approach as pragmatic, focused on solving everyday operational problems rather than pursuing technology for its own sake.
