In short: The Heddfa staff app puts point-of-care recording in every carer’s pocket — their tasks for the shift, repositioning turns, and a safety card for every resident — with unlimited staff logins and no per-device fee. Record where the care happens, not later at a desk. From £10 per resident per month, staff free.
Care recorded from memory at the end of a shift is care recorded worse. Point-of-care recording — capturing what happened as it happens, on a device in your hand — is more accurate, more timely, and less of a burden than a pile of paperwork at 9pm. The catch, with most vendors, is that mobile access comes with per-carer or per-device charges that quietly punish exactly the thing you want everyone doing.
What the staff app does
- My Day. Each carer sees their tasks for the shift as a clear worklist — what’s due, what’s done — and records against them on the spot.
- Turns and repositioning. The repositioning schedule on the device, recorded at the bedside with a tap.
- A safety card for every resident. The “This is me” essentials — key needs, risks and preferences — a tap away, so agency and bank staff have what they need immediately.
No per-device fee — on purpose
Staff logins are unlimited and free, and that includes the app. Every carer, nurse, bank and agency worker can record at the point of care without a single extra charge. Pricing that penalises safe recording is exactly the kind of thing we set out to get rid of. One price per resident; the whole team on the app.
One record, in the office and at the bedside
The app isn’t a separate system — it’s the same record as the eMAR round, the care plans and the handover, seen from the corridor. What’s recorded on the phone is instantly what the manager sees at the desk, audit trail and all.
