About this app

BetterCall is a clinical reference and workflow app built for non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs) in Ireland — the on-call companion many wish they had from day one.

Whether you are on your first intern shift or covering nights as a senior SHO, BetterCall helps you find practical guidance quickly, stay organised, and manage the work around patient care.

CLINICAL TOPICS & TOOLS
• Common on-call scenarios — what to ask, what to check, when to escalate, how to document
• Drugs, doses, and ward reference tables
• Procedures, consents, and equipment checklists
• Specialty consult guides — what to know before you call
• Clinical calculators and risk scores (e.g. GCS, Wells, HEART, sepsis screening)
• Interactive dosing and electrolyte tools on Android (always verify against local protocol)
• Fast search across hundreds of Irish-focused topics
• Suggest edits to help keep content accurate and up to date

TASKS & HOME
• Personal task lists with reminders
• Quick view of today's shifts, leave, and on-call
• Pick up where you left off on team patients and open tasks
• Optional time tracking and geofence clock-in for workplace shifts

TEAMS (OPTIONAL, SIGNED IN)

IMPORTANT — NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
BetterCall is an educational and workflow aid only. It does not replace local hospital protocols, prescribing systems, senior clinical review, or your own professional judgement. Always follow your hospital's policies and escalate when unsure.
