NHS-Compliant Website Design & Development
For NHS Trusts, CQC-registered clinics, and UK health organisations - built to the NHS Digital Service Standard from Sprint 1, with DTAC documentation support.
What every NHS-compliant build includes
Every project includes these capabilities as standard. Larger platforms extend this list with patient portals, e-prescribing integration, and multi-role dashboards - scoped during discovery.
NHS Digital Service Standard
All 14 principles from Sprint 1 - user research, accessibility, security, iterative delivery.

UK GDPR & Data Processing Agreement
DPA signed before any project work begins. UK data residency by default.
WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility
Tested at design stage. Accessibility conformance statement included at delivery.

UK private hospitals and specialist clinics requiring patient-first design, GDPR-compliant patient data handling, and NHS referral pathway integration.
GP Surgeries & Primary Care
Clear, accessible patient-facing websites for GP practices. Online appointment requests, repeat prescription links, and NHS 111 signposting built to NHS standard patterns.
UK Pharmacies & Dispensaries
Pharmacy websites and patient-facing portals with NHS prescription service links, repeat dispensing information, and GDPR-compliant data handling.
UK Digital Health Providers
HealthTech products and digital health services requiring DTAC assessment alignment, NHS login compatibility, and NHS Digital Service Standard compliance.

Healthcare outcomes we've delivered
From single-specialty clinics to global NGO networks - measurable results for patients and providers.
Qrolic Technologies Impact
What NHS-ready providers come to us to fix
Incomplete DTAC assessments
Failing to meet the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria blocks adoption by NHS Trusts. We design and document clinical safety, security, and interoperability controls.
Lack of NHS Login integrations
Forcing patients to register new accounts manually instead of using their central NHS identity leads to low digital adoption. We integrate secure NHS Login paths.
DCB0129 clinical safety gaps
Digital health tools must have documented clinical safety cases signed off by a Clinical Safety Officer. We map clinical hazards and document safety logs during development.
Non-standard API messaging
Using proprietary, closed database models instead of standardized FHIR or HL7 messages isolates patient data from the wider NHS. We build interoperable FHIR endpoints.
Accessibility exclusion (WCAG 2.2 AA)
NHS-facing services must serve all patients, including those with visual or motor impairments. We build and test to NHS and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards.
Data residency and sovereignty issues
Hosting patient data outside the UK or on servers without appropriate DPA/GDPR safeguards creates regulatory exposure. We deploy to UK-sovereign, secure cloud hostings.
