Founders For Good

After years of working in the NHS, Owain saw an acute problem with how the system worked. There was a large disconnect between primary care and specialist care. This led to many patients being referred when it wasn’t needed, adding to the NHS workload and taking weeks for patients to be seen. 

So Owain left the NHS to build Cinapsis. Their technology plugs the gap between GP’s and specialists, giving GP’s instant access to their specialist colleagues to get the advice and support they need. This has massively reduced wait time for patients, helped patients get faster diagnosis and treatment, and cut down the workload for the NHS.   

A massive win-win for everyone.
