Patients are increasingly faced with long waiting times when it comes to booking appointments and seeing their GP. This is largely due to there being more people needing treatment than doctors have the capacity to treat. Practio was founded to bridge the gap between supply and demand and ultimately reduce patient waiting times. Our mission is to make quality healthcare accessible for all, by providing a technology platform that strengthens pharmacies as local healthcare hubs. Read more about Practio and our mission here.
