Location based extensions
A single place for all the numbers and bleeps that you need to connect with healthcare professionals working in your hospital.
The numbers are ‘crowdsourced’ by health professionals in every hospital, which means the directory is regularly updated.
Individuals
Call colleagues directly from your phone
The ‘Quick Dial’ function also allows you to respond to bleeps by calling the extension number straight from your phone.
This removes the need to wait for a telephone to become available and also allows you to answer when on the move in complex clinical environments.
Individuals
Crowdsourced by your hospital
All health professionals within any hospital can contribute to Induction’s ‘crowdsourced’ directories so anyone can contribute to, and benefit from, the data for their hospital.
This means the extensions and pager numbers for each hospital are constantly updated so you can quickly search for the people you need and get the most accurate information.
Individuals
Private codes & numbers
Induction can also be your personal store for private numbers and codes which are held locally in the app and only available to you.
This is useful for private numbers you may not want to share, for example, mobile numbers and also means codes for locked cupboards on the ward or the codes for office doors can be stored securely.
Individuals
Switch hospitals easily
You can also switch hospitals at any time if you need to contact someone at a different hospital or you are starting work in a new location.
You can also keep a number of hospitals and workspaces in your list of hospitals so you can access them easily whenever you need.
Individuals
Communicate securely with instant messaging
Messages can be sent securely with Induction’s instant messaging which was built specifically for healthcare. The security is high enough that you can discuss patient information.
- Messages are encrypted in transit and at rest.
- Messages delete after 30 days.
- Data is stored on servers based in the country your hospital is in.

Read receipts & reply features
Induction has a variety of features that make it easy to use and have confidence in for secure clinical messaging.
You can see who has read your messages in 1-2-1 messages or in groups and you can reply directly to messages sent by colleagues to ensure communication is clear and transparent.
Individuals
Share images securely
Induction allows secure messaging of photos and other images you need to share. These images will be stored within Induction and will not be held on your device’s camera roll or link to your personal cloud backups for your phone.
Image sharing is particularly useful in image focused specialties where images can support remote clinical decision making.
