Aortic dissection referral system
The fastest route from diagnosis to specialist surgery.
Khepre replaces phone trees with one shared referral pathway, connecting A&E, surgical teams, theatres and transfer crews in real time.
How it works
One pathway, from first scan to theatre
See where to refer, instantly
A&E clinicians see live theatre availability across the regional network, so the first call is to the right centre rather than the fifth.
Send a complete referral in one go
A structured form captures presentation, history, BP and CT or echo findings, with imaging attached, so surgeons can decide without chasing details.
Decide, mobilise and hand over together
One acceptance alerts theatre, perfusion and bed management. Status, chat and documents stay with the referral until the patient arrives.
Built for clinical settings
- Role-based access
- Each clinician sees only the views and actions their role needs.
- Complete audit trail
- Every referral, decision and handover is time-stamped for review.
- Web, iOS and Android
- Works at the bedside, in theatre and on the move.

Developed with The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust
TADCT is the UK's first charity dedicated to aortic dissection education, research and policy change. Together, we are grounding the referral system in the experience of patients, families and the clinicians who treat them.
