VaxiMap is the direct response to a problem reported by GP practices of how to deliver huge numbers of Covid-19 vaccines to housebound patients on top of already busy workloads. The mapping software has saved time, money and energy of NHS services which are stretched across all three. Dr Staruch says: ‘My friend was manually mapping his housebound patient locations in order to then plan routes for him to vaccinate them by car. They supported with £7,500 towards costs and Military vaccine teams have adopted the software for their vaccine routes. Although a multitude of mapping systems exists, this integrates the nuances of vaccine delivery and patient numbers for route optimisation.
