Resource of the Month

ORCHA APP Library

ORCHA (the Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Applications) is an online app library, giving you the opportunity to download, share and recommend health and care related apps.

With thousands of health and care apps available on the market, it can be hard to decide which apps are reliable and trustworthy.

  • ORCHA only include apps which have been reviewed against best practice criteria.
  • This allows you to map apps for either your personal or professional needs.
  • Simply search for the app you are looking for or browse the contents.
  • Save the apps to your favourites or recommend to others (including patients via a text/email or APP code).
  • Access the Digitial Health Academy for bite size training videos to gain new skills and CPD points.
