Healthcare compliance that runs itself, within limits you set.

Credentially keeps documents, checks, expiries and follow-ups moving every day, without your team having to trigger each step. The platform handles the routine work and brings back the decisions that need a person.

A table of uploaded files, each matched to the requirement it satisfies, three verified automatically and one flagged for a person to check.
Documents and requirements

Every document matched to the right requirement.

Upload documents in bulk and Credentially classifies each file, captures the relevant dates and matches it to the requirement it satisfies, including DBS, Right to Work and registration with the GMC, NMC and HCPC.

Your team can see what is complete, what is missing and what needs review, without working through every document by hand.

AI agents and chat

Agents keep the process moving between human decisions.

Agents can follow up candidates, verify registrations and draft messages as the process progresses. Chat lets your team ask questions about anyone on your books and get answers from the information already held in Credentially.

You decide what each agent can do on its own and what must come back to a person for approval. Every action is recorded.

Compliance monitoring

Registers checked every day. Changes caught as they happen.

Credentially re-checks GMC, NMC and HCPC registrations and the DBS Update Service every day, with alerts when something changes or approaches expiry.

The checks run whether or not anyone logs in, and each one is recorded so your team has a clear history whenever evidence is needed.

Custom compliance packages

The right requirements, assembled automatically.

Credentially builds each compliance package around the role, site and client, so every person is asked only for what they actually need.

Evidence that has already been verified can carry forward wherever it still applies, while individual requirements can change without rebuilding the whole package.

Three compliance packages each with their own completion, the one being worked on opened out to show which requirements are already met.

Built to keep compliance work moving.

From pre-employment checks and references to candidate follow-ups, site-level oversight, audit evidence and signatures, Credentially keeps each part of the process progressing without someone manually tracking every step.

Pre-employment checks

See what is clear before day one.

Bring identity, Right to Work and DBS into one workflow. External checks can start in parallel, with Credentially keeping track of progress and showing your team what still needs attention.

Personalised communications

The right follow-up at the right point.

Create messages around what has changed and what the individual still needs to do, triggered by an expiry, milestone or another event you choose.

Credentially keeps the follow-up moving as the candidate progresses, rather than relying on someone to remember the next chase.

Multi-site dashboard

See every site's compliance status.

See where each site stands in one view, including gaps that need attention and changes that have happened since you last looked.

Your team gets the current picture without collecting updates from individual sites.

CQC evidence ready when you need it.

Pull the supporting record for a candidate or selected period, with checks, actions and evidence together in one place for CQC inspection.

Because Credentially records activity as it happens, the audit trail is built as the work is done.

A reference tracked from request to approval, showing it has been waiting 11 days and has been chased automatically twice.
References

Know which references are stuck.

Follow every reference from request to submission and review. Credentially tracks progress through each stage so your team can see which references are moving and which need intervention.

eSignature

Signing stays in the same workflow.

Send contracts and policies for signature inside Credentially, alongside the rest of the onboarding process.

Signatures, status and audit history stay with the same record, with no separate eSignature licence required.

Security & compliance

Security your compliance team can stand behind.

Healthcare data needs more than a promise. Every record is encrypted at rest and in transit, with application-level encryption for personal data. Infrastructure runs on AWS with regional data residency, continuous monitoring, and annual penetration testing by CREST-certified firms.

Encrypted end to end

All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with application-level encryption for personally identifiable information.

Regional data residency

Hosted on AWS across US, EU and Canada regions, with regional data residency options.

Tested and monitored

Annual penetration testing by CREST-certified firms, weekly automated scans and real-time access logging.

Access controlled

Unique credentials for every user, segmented networks, and tools to control who can access what.

Responsible AI

Human judgement leads. Agents extend it.

Our agents do real work. They verify licences, run reference verifications, and shape onboarding decisions that determine whether someone can work in a care setting. Each agent ships with defined boundaries and escalation paths, and every action is named in the audit trail.

◎

Transparency

Every action logged, every decision explainable. Agents appear in audit trails as named users.

✔

Human control

Agents escalate when uncertain. Humans approve when stakes are high.

▣

Scoped access

Agents only get the tools they need for their job. No shared super-user accounts.

◈

Safe failures

When an agent fails, it fails safely. Outputs fall back to templates. Errors surface in the audit log, they never disappear.

Customers start with full control and earn autonomy over time.

We find it is obviously a lot easier when it comes to audit time that you don't have to scrabble through a million spreadsheets, and auditors love automated compliance (especially when every single action that's been taken within a system is all logged.)
