GP software vendor MedicalDirector will integrate Healthshare's referrals directory directly into its cloud-based practice management system Helix by the middle of the year, with practices able to use it rather than maintaining their own specialist address book if they choose.

The Healthshare referrals directory has been available on MedicalDirector Clinical's Sidebar as a widget for a number of years, and Healthshare's patient education application was one of the first chosen for the sidebar when it was officially launched in 2013.
