Software Development For GP Practices

Whether you’re improving an existing system, digitising patient pathways, or developing a bespoke solution, our work with GP practices combines deep healthcare knowledge with technical expertise to deliver compliant, user-centred digital services that make a measurable difference.

Understanding Software Development for GP Practices

General practices are at the frontline of healthcare — handling high volumes of patient demand, managing complex clinical records, and coordinating with wider NHS services. As expectations around digital access and integrated care grow, GP practices need software solutions that are secure, interoperable, and easy to use for both staff and patients.

Successful software development for GP practices means building tools that enhance patient access, reduce staff workload, and connect seamlessly with NHS systems such as EMIS, SystmOne, Medicus, Vision, and NHS Spine services. From triage platforms and repeat prescription tools to clinical dashboards and remote monitoring solutions, technology must be designed around real-world pressures and workflows.

At 6B, we work closely with practices and PCNs to create digital solutions that improve patient outcomes, enable better resource management, and align with national and regional transformation goals.

Our Approach to Software Development for GP Practices

We begin every engagement with a discovery phase — collaborating with clinical leads, practice managers, and IT teams to understand local challenges, clinical priorities, and patient needs.

Our research and design teams focus on usability, accessibility, and clinical safety. We develop intuitive user experiences across mobile and desktop, ensuring digital tools are inclusive and efficient for all users — including patients with complex needs and staff with limited time.

On the technical side, we build scalable, secure software solutions that comply with NHS Digital standards, DSPT requirements, and data protection regulations such as GDPR. We prioritise interoperability — integrating with existing EHR systems, referral networks, and regional data platforms.

From proof-of-concept through to live deployment, we provide end-to-end delivery and robust clinical risk management. We also offer staff training, documentation, and managed support services to ensure long-term success.
