Missed appointments represent a significant burden to healthcare budgets. The average 'did not attend' (DNA) rate across the NHS is 6.7%; however, significant variation can be observed. In 2015, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust observed a DNA rate of 13.5% and partnered with DrDoctor to reduce this by implementing their innovative outpatient scheduling and booking platform. The overall rate has reduced by 17.2%; Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust has estimated a £2.6 million financial benefit in the first year and 91% of patients would recommend the service. This case study describes the onboarding process for DrDoctor's platform across Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, the benefits delivered and next steps for the partnership.

The main objective of this prospective, multicenter study (REVEAL-CP) was to test children with cerebral palsy-like signs and symptoms for raised 3--methyldopa (3-OMD) blood levels, a biomarker for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCd). A secondary objective was to characterize the molecular basis for the defective aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) gene product. Patients were identified in pediatric secondary and tertiary care hospitals through database searches and personal communication.
