Why reinvent the wheel? How Hero Elements accelerate digital health innovation

Bringing NHS-ready functionality to your application

Building a digital product for NHS primary care? You’ve probably already realised how complex it is to integrate patient communication, appointment scheduling, and care navigation. Instead of spending months—or years—developing these systems from scratch, you can integrate Hero Elements and get up and running in hours.

Hero Elements are modular, embeddable UI components designed to handle the challenges of NHS interoperability, patient engagement, and compliance. They allow you to offer powerful scheduling and communication functionality without the headache of EMIS or TPP integration.
