Movement Referrals, an independent orthopaedics and neurology referral practice, has launched a web app designed to replace email with a dedicated, trackable platform for referring veterinary practices seeking specialist advice.

The app allows first-opinion vets to submit advice requests directly, including attachments such as radiographs, videos, images, clinical notes and laboratory results.

Responses from Movement Referrals’ clinicians are documented within a chat-style interface, allowing practices to monitor the status of their requests and retain a clear record of the advice they've been given.

Movement says the platform was developed to address the difficulties of managing advice requests via email, where tracking conversations and recording responses can become challenging alongside routine practice correspondence.

The app also generates an AI summary of uploaded clinical notes and includes a “refer this case” function to facilitate formal referral where appropriate.

John Innes, co-director of Movement Referrals and developer of the app, said: "This app is quick to install on a desktop or laptop and we have tested it with a small number of practices so far - feedback has been very positive."

To register, referring practices are advised to use a shared practice email address that all clinicians have access to, and email info@movementvets.co.uk with the message: “Please register our practice for the Movement Vets app”.
