About

Built in a rehab, not a boardroom

Reach + Within was built inside a working rehab by a rehab CEO, Vincent Conlon, with its clinicians, the people who use it every day. It is built for clinicians, and for other rehabs.

Built inside a working rehab running across two registered facilities, where it holds up to special audit reviews by the relevant authorities.

Reach + Within started as the system a working rehab needed to run admissions, clinical care, nursing and billing across two registered facilities without typing anything twice. It is used every day by the people who do that work: admissions, clinicians, nurses and accounts. We now offer the same connected system to individual therapists, group practices, and rehabs and treatment centres in the United Kingdom and South Africa.

Reach + Within is an independent company. Each clinic's data is kept in its own private workspace that no other clinic, including the rehab where it was built, can ever see.

Why we built Reach + Within

After years of trial and error with CRMs and EMRs, we couldn't find one that handled the complexity of running a rehab. So we built our own inside a working rehab, with more than 20 clinicians and professional staff working alongside our developers. The aim was simple: one seamless system that gives therapists, doctors and nurses hours back every week for what matters, which is clinical excellence and care for everyone who walks through your doors.

Our founder, Vincent Conlon, brings more than professional experience of owning rehabs across South Africa and Europe. He is in recovery himself, with over 10 years of sobriety, so he knows first-hand how much good clinical care matters, and how much time it takes.

We spent tens of thousands of pounds trying to make other software work for us. Now we offer clinics and therapists everything we learned, at a fraction of the cost.

Reach is the front office: enquiries, onboarding, bookings and invoicing. Within is the clinical record, with Assist drafting notes for the clinician to review and sign, an electronic medication administration record (eMAR) for nurses, and check-ins charted over time. You can watch the product demos to see both working together.
