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 adds a layer your PMS does not have. Your records, billing and clinical notes stay where they are.

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.

The safety checks are always on.

They are built in, they do not depend on anyone remembering to switch them on, and they never get in the way of a busy list. Near misses, harm and the things that went well are reviewed at the level of systems, never people.

The data your PMS throws away.

Bramwell captures the operational story no PMS 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 the floor, not the office.

A whiteboard you can read from across the room. Colours that work for colour-blind staff. Delay reasons you pick from a list rather than type. Nothing that needs a manual.

“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.

  • Built in the UK but usable anywhere.
  • UK GDPR is the standard we build to.
  • Now inviting a small number of practices to beta test Bramwell before launch.
