Niche excellence in digital consent
We understand the challenge of moving consent digital and making it work for all. It's complicated, and we tackle that head on.
Focused on this challenge
Transforming the experience of consent and shared decision making for clinicians and patients is currently our sole focus. It's too big a problem for it not to be.
Many of the team have been exploring the consent problem for over a decade, initially as a passion project whilst working clinically. Expect us to be here for the long term, with a product and overall package that's always improving.
Sweating the detail
With Concentric as our sole focus - and experience across the team of the frustrations of using many clinical systems - we prioritise delivering surprisingly good digital experiences.
That means staying close to our users so we know their product priorities. It means not compromising on technical quality - doing things once, well. It means being there with our partner organisations, with team members who know the problem inside out.

Our vision, mission, and values
As the team has matured, it’s felt natural to put words to what was once unspoken. The principles quietly guiding our decisions, priorities, and how we work together. Our vision, mission, and values.
These statements aren’t abstract ideals or words on a poster. They describe what you can expect from us — whether you’re joining the team, working with us as a healthcare organisation, or relying on us as a clinician or patient.
Our Vision
Niche excellence in healthcare software; knotty problems solved surprisingly well.
We’re drawn to complex problems where going deep makes a real difference. Rather than spreading ourselves thin, we bring quiet craft, care, and rigour to the places where depth creates real impact.
Our mission
Our mission is how we bring our vision to life; by going deep on knotty problems where doing so can create meaningful impact. Right now, that means focusing our energy on a single challenge; transforming consent and shared decision-making in healthcare. In time, other knotty problems may follow, but for now, this is where we can make the biggest difference.
We’re shifting the consent and shared decision-making process in healthcare. Iteratively evolving the norm to one that is transparent, empowering, personalised and genuinely shared between clinician and patient.
We do this within the context of a system that requires a gentle approach to transformation, and quietly raise the expected standard of software in healthcare with every deployment. Our solution sits seamlessly within clinical workflows, today and into the future, bringing clinicians, patients, and organisations along with us.
Our Values
Our values describe how we think, act, and show up — our way of working. They guide how we approach knotty problems, how we collaborate with each other, and how we build lasting change in healthcare, making our vision and mission real in the day to day.
Quality: We act with rigour to create systems that last, thoughtfully balancing a natural tendency towards quality with pragmatism. We care deeply about getting things right, but keep sight of the impact and timing that makes our work effective.
Conviction: We’re rooted in evidence and critical thinking, giving us the confidence to make bold choices. We balance this conviction with humility, recognising that in healthcare, meaningful change must often be delivered gently and collaboratively.
Openness: We value sharing over secrecy. By grounding our work in quality and critical thinking, we have the confidence to share our thinking honestly and foster a culture where transparency comes naturally. That openness invites trust — and makes space for challenge too.
