Semble, a London-based healthcare technology company, has expanded access to its ORB Connect integration, allowing private healthcare providers to retrieve consenting patients’ live GP records directly within their clinical workflows. The move targets administrative workloads that 84 percent of surveyed UK private healthcare respondents say are limiting their ability to scale services.

The integration is available to all Semble customers from 28 October 2026, with free access until 30 November and charges applying automatically from 1 December to clinicians who keep access enabled.

Semble’s Care Coordination Tax research also found that 92 percent of respondents report administrative teams operating at or beyond capacity.

Access is based on explicit patient consent, authenticated through patient login, and patients can withdraw permission at any time. Clinicians can review current records, including previous treatments, medications and allergies, rather than requesting static summaries or relying on information recalled by patients.

“Having worked as a GP, I know how important it is to have the right information available when making clinical decisions. But getting hold of records from across different healthcare settings can be slow and frustrating, creating extra admin for clinicians and sometimes delaying decisions about a patient’s care,” said Dr Jenny Williams, senior product manager at Semble and a former GP.

Semble supports more than 1,700 healthcare businesses across 80 medical specialties, with its platform used by approximately 18,000 healthcare professionals and more than 10 million patients having received care from clinicians using its technology. Customers include Nuffield Health, Welbeck, Midland Health, London Doctors Clinic and ProblemShared.

Backed by Revaia, Mercia Ventures, Partech and Octopus Ventures, Semble raised a Series C of $40 million (€36 million) in June 2026 and is expanding in France.

Its platform integrates with more than 1,200 tools across diagnostics, billing, laboratories and customer relationship management, and the company operates primarily in the UK private healthcare market.

ORB Connect was developed by two practising UK doctors and is designed to give private hospitals, independent clinics and other providers access to current patient information without the delays of conventional record-sharing.

The structural driver is administrative workload, which Semble’s Care Coordination Tax research links to constrained growth and overstretched administrative teams.

For the sector, the trial shows software providers using integrations that cut record-chasing to ease administrative pressure on private clinics.
