And a nice delayed buy at the end of trading on Friday. |
![](https://images.advfn.com/static/default-user.png) Although Bleepa isn't mentioned on the Government website it doesn't take too much imagination to realise that Bleepa has been helping thse targets for the past five years.
From the Bleepa website:-
Save time
Our pathway management and community diagnostic centre programme (patient pathways) has achieved a reduction of 63% in patient wait times compared to the NHS 18-week referral to treatment target, without the need for additional clinical staff.
The programme has also achieved a reduction of 45% in wait times from referral to diagnostic test compared to the national target.
Using Bleepa® at the Northern Care Alliance resulted in a reduction of 87% in referral response time in respiratory (on average 0.28 days compared to 2.1 day average before Bleepa®).
In respiratory, cardiology and gastroenterology it resulted in a 74% reduction in time from submission of a referral to first review (on average 0.55 days compared to 1.55 days before Bleepa®).
76% of users surveyed at the Trust identified time savings.
80% of staff identified an improvement in staff communication when using Bleepa compared to previous referral methods. |
![](https://images.advfn.com/static/default-user.png) Following on from your links, LR2 and going directly to the source I've just put a few quotes illustrating the government plans for reducing waiting times.
Whether they are capable of achieving their aims remains to be seen.
"Currently, too many patients face long waits for appointments or surgeries and may be referred to hospitals they don’t choose at inconvenient times, while appointments and staff time are being lost to inefficiencies or inconsistencies in care.
NHS backlogs have ballooned in recent years, leaving millions of patients languishing on waiting lists,
We inherited record long waiting lists, impacting patients’ lives and their livelihoods. Only the combination of investment and radical reform can turn this around, as we’re setting out today.
NHS staff have worked tirelessly to bring down the longest waits, treating record numbers of elective patients last year, but with one in nine people currently on a waiting list it is right that we now go further and faster.
Tackling waiting lists is the first step in the government’s mission to build an NHS fit for the future, as set out in the Plan for Change." |
There are 2 links in LR2’s post!!! |
Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link? |
Feedback Medical gets a mention in a 'Tony Blair Institute for Global Change' publication today. Nothing most of you don't already know.
Feedback Medical still aceing the NHS Data Security and Protection tests. |

Bit of casual reading - no mention of ERF yet:
Cdc’s and gp’s mentioned. |
Looks like we might pick up a few new year bottom gamblers - cos the share price is “low”. |
![](https://images.advfn.com/static/default-user.png) Queen Victoria Hospital shortlisted for two prestigious national aw...Today 07:45 From 9th December 2024
The nominations recognise the success of their pilot project providing a straight-to-diagnostic breathlessness pathway using Feedback Medical’s Bleepa software. It has achieved significant improvements in efficiency and patient wait times.
The Bleepa software allows GPs and the multidisciplinary team at QVH to collaborate digitally for patients needing diagnostic tests as part of a breathlessness pathway. The pilot project saw a 63% reduction in patient waiting times from referral to treatment compared to the national target, significantly decreasing the number of patients waiting over six weeks.
Impressively 90% of referrals were managed without the need for in-person specialist appointments. This approach has improved patient experience and resulted in efficiency improvements which could be applied to other diagnostic pathways.
Dr Ian Francis, Deputy Medical Director at Queen Victoria Hospital, said: “We are pleased the success of the pilot programme has been recognised by the HSJ judging panel. We have had lots of interest in us sharing our best practice with others wanting to adopt similar symptom-based pathways and have presented both regionally and nationally. We are looking forward to the next stage of rolling this out to additional pathways to maximise clinical and efficiency improvements for our patients.” |
Not so sure it is a load of errors.
The duration and delivery are both estimates. The error is omitting pa after the £495k in the value. Also the specified contract date of 29 December 2028 is contrary to the previous RNS so therefore we should be getting an RNS to acknowledge that change.
Might just email TO if we don't get confirmation. |
Value 495K duration 4 years according to Bidstats, which I think is a mickey mouse load of errors.
July 24 FDBK quite clearly said: "This contract, which is worth £495,000 for an initial 12-month term with the ability to extend by another 12 months".
That is clearly annual.
The next bit of (expected) news is the March renewal of the ERF. Without that, nowt. Probably won't be announced by FDBK, so Google or one of the NHS sites is your friend.
If it doesn't renew, it will be 50/50 whether FDBK will RNS it. As there is no revenue from it yet, its not material.
If you Google 'elective recovery 24/25, it appears the guidelines for improvement in elective recovery have only just been published. So may be a few weeks before anything appears about the ERF. |
Jck, the govt has been vaunting digitalisation of the NHS, sameday referrals from CDC to consultant. Traders are taking up positions just in case fdbk are involved. |
We have an active buyer today. Some decent volume. |
Posted on LSE over the Christmas period by Investor Bill:
An earlier RNS from FDBK stated the contract was £495k per year. The contract in the link says Value £495k to end on 28th Dec 2028.
Confusion as to whether £495k in total or 495k per year.
The flurry of buying might suggest relief to see this contract but perhaps more on the way.
Yump thanks for your replies before the holiday. No wonder you are pessimistic with such reading. A couple of your comment helped my education.
Hope everyone had a good holiday. Let's hope we have a good year. |
Could be major news for FDBK and BLEEPA.
Under the changes, hundreds of thousands of patients will be able to get direct referrals for checks through their GP for conditions including breathlessness, asthma, post-menopausal bleeding, hearing loss, tinnitus, urological conditions and bowel issues, removing the need to see a consultant first. |
A little perky today. News inbound ? |
jck, "Do you agree it is an odd vacancy to post without any established business"? Have you looked at the UK operation/business model? You will find your answer there. |
If you want to ignore FDBK’s entire history and not read the various spoutings from the CEO, that’s up to you.
There’s a reason (loads actually) why the share price is a fraction of its historic value. If you think that makes it cheap then I haven’t got time to explain investing. |

Yump
Quite an immature response.. I get it that you dislike FDBK and for whatever reason you like to always post negativity.
Do you agree it is an odd vacancy to post without any established business? |
Apply for it then |
How many staff does FDBK employ in India?
Does FDBK have any current business in India?
Read post on another site that FDBK is recruiting for an Integration and Customer support engineer in India. I didn't think there was any existing business in India, so this job posting is quite interesting |
