CLINICAL AUDIT COMPASS LTD

What CLINICAL AUDIT COMPASS LTD does

Clinical Audit Compass Ltd is a Glasgow-based, founder-owned UK health technology company (Scottish private limited company, registration SC871235) that operates a mobile and web platform enabling UK healthcare professionals to capture clinical work as structured, governance-aligned evidence for appraisal, revalidation, CPD, and professional development. The platform replaces fragmented free-text note-taking with a dropdown-driven framework that enforces mandatory per-log anonymisation and maps activity to scope of practice, professional role, and regulatory expectations across 63 professions organised into 28 professional groups, with exports aligned to NHS KSF domains and the Four Pillars of Advanced Practice. Core technology is a cloud-based application built and hosted by Dotsquares Ltd on dedicated UK-based server infrastructure in London, using Firebase for aggregated analytics and crash reporting, and Stripe, Apple In-App Purchase, and Google Play Billing for payments; all platform IP, code, and branding are retained by Clinical Audit Compass Ltd.

The product surface consists of six functional modules — Capture (real-time clinical recording), Evidence (PDF portfolio export), Reflect (structured reflection), Medication & Interventions, Practice, and Context — plus features for CPD tracking, complete audit cycle support, and offline functionality. The business model is a pure consumer-style subscription: £4.99/month or £44.99/year (annual representing roughly a 25% discount), preceded by a 10-day free trial, with self-serve purchase via iOS, Android, and web. Distribution is product-led growth through app store listings and the company website, layered with a separate enterprise procurement channel for NHS Trusts, universities, and ambulance services supported by DCB0129-aligned clinical safety documentation, Cyber Essentials certification (April 2026), ICO registration (ZC067899), and UK GDPR compliance. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, no institutional investors, and a single disclosed founder/Clinical Safety Officer (Nathan Thomson, Advanced Paramedic Practitioner); headcount is not disclosed.

Direct peers

• FourteenFish: UK-based appraisal, revalidation, and 360° feedback software primarily for GPs and other doctors. Closely comparable as a UK regulatory-aligned portfolio/revalidation platform targeting individual clinicians and NHS employers with subscription and institutional access.
• Clarity Appraisal: UK appraisal and revalidation software for GPs, nurses, and consultants. Comparable as a UK regulatory-aligned portfolio tool offering structured evidence capture and appraisal-ready exports for individual clinicians and practices.
• Maxwell Medical (Maxwell's): Mobile medical appraisal and revalidation portfolio app for UK doctors. Comparable as a clinician-facing mobile portfolio solution aligned with NHS appraisal and revalidation requirements.
• NHS e-Portfolio (NES): Official NHS education and training e-portfolio operated by NHS Education for Scotland. Comparable as the dominant UK portfolio platform for trainee clinicians, representing the entrenched competitor Clinical Audit Compass must displace or co-exist with.

Broad incumbents

• BMJ Portfolio / BMJ Learning: BMJ's CPD/learning platform serving UK and international clinicians with modules and reflective tools. Comparable as a broad incumbent in clinician professional development, though more content-focused than capture-focused.
• e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH): NHS-affiliated e-learning platform providing CPD and training modules for the UK health workforce. Comparable as an established publicly backed professional development platform with overlapping regulatory alignment.
• Allocate Software (L2P / Loop): Workforce management and e-portfolio software for healthcare organisations. Comparable as an institutional incumbent covering training and revalidation records for NHS trusts, with overlapping governance-aligned portfolio functionality.

Others

• Skills for Health: UK sector skills body providing workforce compliance, CPD frameworks, and training standards for healthcare. Comparable as a UK governance-aligned CPD/training standards setter rather than direct product competitor.

Emerging players

• MedShr: Clinical case-sharing and learning platform for doctors with reflective practice and CPD elements. Comparable as an emerging mobile-first clinician professional development platform targeting individual practitioners, though more case-sharing than portfolio-export focused.

Regional players

• MyCPD (Royal Pharmaceutical Society): Royal College-owned CPD recording tool for pharmacists in the UK. Comparable as a UK regulatory-aligned CPD tracking tool for a single profession, illustrating the profession-specific incumbents Clinical Audit Compass competes against horizontally.
