How it works

From source to patient.

What patients open is built from the sources you choose, and reaches them only after your clinical review.

Select a step to bring its layer forward. Steps 01–03 are illustrations; step 04 is the real Compass demo, with demo content.

Behind the Suite

Built from clinical practice.

Created by a practising consultant surgeon in London, from the information he wanted his own patients to have.

Leaflet Stress Test · free

How does your patient leaflet read?

The free Leaflet Stress Test checks reading age, sentence structure and source references. Its optional AI-generated review explores different reader perspectives. This is illustrative feedback, not testing with patients or clinical sign-off.

Try it on one of your own pathways.

You review and approve before publication.

Start with one pathwayStart the pilot online

About 15 minutes. Five agreements, each with a plain-terms summary, signed online. If we prepare your draft, you join the same queue of three pilots; a ready-made pathway needs no queue.

Questions before you start

How the Suite fits into your practice.

No. Patients open the guide from a secure link or QR code given by their surgeon, clinic or hospital, without creating an account.

For patients

Looking for your pathway?

Your surgeon, clinic or hospital gives you an access link or QR code. Open it to follow the guidance at your own pace. You do not need to create an account.

If you have not received a link, ask your clinical team.

Start with one pathway

One full pathway. 90 days to explore it.

Request a 20-minute call, or sign the pilot agreements online. Either way we prepare the first draft from your approved material, guidelines you select or approve, or both, unless you adopt a ready-made pathway. You review and approve before publication.

No card. No automatic renewal.

Your 90 days begin on the day we set up your workspace if you adopt a ready-made pathway, or on the day we deliver your draft if we prepare one for you, never when you enquire or sign. A call request starts a conversation, not a contract; signing online is the only step that binds you, and nothing is charged either way.
