Theatre coordination shouldn't be a black box

Most of what happens between admission and discharge lives on whiteboards, in heads and on paper. Bramwell is purpose-built for that layer, and designed to add almost no paperwork to a busy team.

The problem

PMSs are built for clinical records and billing, not theatre logistics. Who's in which room, what's running late and why, how well your theatres are really used: it's invisible, so it can't be improved.

The approach

One shared place for the whole team: a view-only whiteboard everyone can trust, drag-and-drop planning for the coordinator, and a single tap as each patient moves through. That quietly turns the theatre day into useful data, without slowing anyone down.

Built to augment, not replace

Bramwell sits alongside your PMS rather than trying to be one. It does the one thing records systems do worst, the live moving picture of the surgical day, and does it well. And it bends to fit your clinic: your rooms, procedures, checklists and workflow are all yours to set up the way your team actually works.

One tap in theatre. The whole day on the record.

As the list moves through induction, into theatre, closing and recovery, the team taps once and carries on. Nobody stays late transcribing anything.

By the time the last patient is settled, the day has written itself up: who did what, when, and how long it really took. Auditable when you need it; invisible when you don't.

For referral hospitals

Ten rooms, forty moving cases and a list that changes by the hour: everyone still sees the same calm, current picture of the day.

For first-opinion practices

One theatre and a busy morning? One screen runs it, with no project plan, no spare admin and nothing to maintain.

Built with three things in mind: the patient, the data, and the person using it.

Safety isn't a feature. It's the foundation.

Every decision in Bramwell starts with the patient on the table. Safety checklists that get logged, not skipped. Alerts when a case is closing, so nothing's missed at handover. A record of who did what and when, built never to get in the way of care. The safety net is always on; it just stays out of your way.

The data your PMS throws away.

Bramwell captures the operational story no records system bothers with: real start and finish times, how well your theatres are used, turnaround, delays and what caused them. So you can see where the theatre day is won and lost. Including, if you'd rather not know, exactly what all that idle theatre time cost you last month.

Built for how people actually work.

Veterinary teams are stretched, tired, and no two brains quite alike. Bramwell is built to take the load off, not add to it. It reads clearly for colour-vision differences, stays calm for sensory-sensitive users, and adjusts to suit whoever’s using it. The person using it matters as much as the patient on the table.

“The safety net is always on. It just stays out of your way.”

Most theatre software is built for the institution. Bramwell is built for the patient, and for the person doing the work. The practice does better as a result, not instead.
