Features · HCP communication

Send to a patient's NHS GP. No mailbox of your own.

Jump sends letters, results and consultation summaries straight to a patient's NHS GP practice over the NHS message exchange - as your practice, without you setting up an NHS mailbox first. Delivery is tracked, rejections tell you how to fix them, and every send lands on the patient record.

How it works

From the record to the GP, tracked all the way.

Four steps, in the order they happen. The correspondence is built from the record, addressed to a real practice, sent over the NHS message exchange, and confirmed back to you.

Step 1

Write the referral or letter from the record

Build a referral or clinical letter from a structured template that pulls the patient's details and clinical context out of the record. Add your reasoning and your question for the specialist. The letter is formatted, saved to the patient record, and ready to send or print.

Step 2

Pick the practice, not an email address

Jump keeps a synced Organisation Directory of NHS GP practices, so you search by name and pick the right one - addressed by its ODS code, not a hand-typed email. Jump confirms the practice can receive over the NHS message exchange before you send.

Step 3

Send over the NHS message exchange, as your practice

Jump sends on your behalf over the NHS message exchange, so your practice does not need to stand up its own NHS mailbox to reach a patient's GP. A letter, a lab result or a whole consultation can go, tagged urgent, action required or medication changed so the receiving practice knows how to triage it.

Step 4

Watch it land, or fix it if it doesn't

Every send is tracked from sent to delivered, and Jump polls for status so you don't have to chase. If a practice rejects a document - usually an ODS code that doesn't match - you get a plain-English reason and a one-click resend, not a cryptic error. The whole transfer history sits on the patient record.
