Child protection iPhone & iPad app for GP's

The British Medical Association has launched an iPhone and iPad app to provide doctors with support when making child protection decisions, whenever and wherever they are.

Vivienne Nathanson from the British Medical Assocuiation said:

"One of the great advantages about iPads or iPhones is that people tend to have them with them all the time, so in a situation where they need advice, they can access it; it is not in a filing cabinet."

The app, priced at £0.69, comes on the back of new child protection guidance for GP’s and provides a step-by-step guide to identifying problems and raising concerns. Advice videos and answers to frequently asked questions are also provided.

To access the app in the Apple App Store Search “BMA Child Protection” or click here for more information.

  1. You have hit the nail! I was once a desperate homemaker not confident enough to stand up to the world. I am a good one though. I can sew, knit, cook, and take tuitions (for my children). But making money out of…I have never dreamt of. One day I came across www.gricree.com and that changed my life. I am now selling my teaching skills by recording syllabus for fifth to eighth graders, and people have bought my video. I still cannot believe it. Want to make money like me?
