Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
Klinik supports customers through a structured, remote onboarding process designed to ensure safe and efficient adoption of the service. Onboarding begins with a specification phase where Klinik works with the customer to agree whether a standard or custom configuration is required. This includes defining workflows, enquiry types, triage pathways and routing to appropriate teams.
Implementation typically takes around 4 weeks for a standard setup and 4 to 8 weeks for a custom setup, depending on complexity. The onboarding process includes configuration workshops, platform build, system testing, and pre–go-live review and sign-off.
Training is delivered remotely through modular training videos accessed via the Klinik Knowledge Base, supported by live sessions where required. Training is tailored to different user roles within the practice or PCN. Prior to go-live, the system is tested by Klinik to ensure readiness.
The onboarding approach is flexible and can be adapted to meet customer timelines, including transitions from an existing supplier. The following steps are included in the implementation process:
1. Standard or custom specification sent
2. Specification workshop
3. Specification agreed
4. Platform build
5. Training video/live training provided
6. Testing by supplier
7. Pre-go-live/review supplier sign-off
8. Go-live - Service documentation

- End-of-contract data extraction
- At the end of the contract, customers can extract their data directly from the Klinik Access professional interface using a built-in data export feature. The data export is enabled once all active patient enquiries have been processed and the service is ready for off-boarding.
- End-of-contract process
-
At the end of the contract, Klinik follows a structured off-boarding process agreed with the customer.
We hold an initial meeting with the customer to explain the off-boarding steps and create an auditable Jira ‘ticket’ to manage the steps required through the offboarding process. We then send the customer a contract termination form where we capture key dates, including:
• The contract end date
• The date when the online service will be switched off
• The date when all patient enquiries have been processed and the data export feature is switched on
Customers are provided with access to a built-in data export feature within the professional interface, allowing them to download their data before the service is decommissioned. Once the customer confirms that data has been successfully extracted, access to the professional interface is removed by disabling all user accounts.
Secure data deletion is then carried out in line with Klinik’s information security and data protection policies. This includes removal of customer data and user information from production systems and associated management systems. All deletion activities are logged for audit purposes. Data deletion is completed within three months of contract end, following customer confirmation of successful data export. - Documentation accessibility standard
- None or don’t know
- How the documentation is accessible

- Description of customisation
-
Klinik Access can be customised to meet the specific operational needs of GP practices, PCNs, ICSs and ICBs. We will complete customisation during onboarding in collaboration with the buyer and focus on configuring workflows, enquiry types, triage pathways and messaging to align with local service models and patient populations.
To ensure patients are directed to the appropriate clinical or non-clinical teams, Buyers can customise patient-facing content, including messaging, enquiry categories and routing logic. Professional users can manage user roles, permissions and access levels within the service to reflect local responsibilities.
Customisation is performed by Klinik as part of the implementation process, based on an agreed specification. Buyers do not need to undertake technical development to configure the service. Any additional or non-standard configuration requirements are discussed and agreed during onboarding and delivered in line with governance, clinical safety and information governance controls.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- Klinik Access is delivered as a multi-tenant SaaS platform hosted within a secure cloud environment. To ensure that each buyer’s data and service usage is isolated from other users, we enforce logical separation between customers.

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- Klinik Access is designed to provide high availability and minimum 99.99% uptime for NHS primary care services. The service operates on a resilient cloud infrastructure with continuous monitoring to ensure availability during core operating hours. Planned maintenance is carried out out-of-hours and is designed to result in no downtime wherever possible. In the event that service availability is impacted, incidents are prioritised by severity and managed through the defined incident management process. Availability performance is monitored, and service issues are communicated to customers in line with agreed escalation procedures.
- Approach to resilience
- Klinik Access is hosted on Google Cloud Platform within UK-based, multi-zone data centres to support resilience and continuity. To reduce the risk of single points of failure, the service is deployed across multiple availability zones. System components are containerised and replicated to support failover and rapid recovery in the event of an infrastructure issue. Regular backups, point-in-time recovery and annual business continuity testing are in place to support recovery objectives. Continuous monitoring and automated alerts enable rapid detection and response to incidents, ensuring service continuity for NHS customers.
- Outage reporting
- Klinik Access reports service outages through direct communication with customers using agreed contact methods. Customers are notified of service-impacting incidents by email and through the support and ticketing system. High-severity incidents are escalated immediately using named escalation contacts. Updates are provided throughout the incident lifecycle, including progress updates and resolution confirmation. Following resolution, incident reviews are conducted where appropriate to identify root causes and implement preventative actions.
