"Policy, procedure and review documents have been made more efficient as they are easier to access and upload. It helps us to save time when transferring information. The organisation within our business has greatly improved as we constantly use the portal's calendar and appointments function, it also allows feedback which in turn helps us to develop new initiatives. What we like most about the portal is that it provides us with a single point for our staff to receive any necessary information which can be very important for both internal and ext renal communication" Stephen O'Rourke - SoCoJoM
