About Rconnected

Fifteen years of coordinated care, rebuilt as software.

Rconnected began as a question inside a clinical service: what if family, school and clinical teams worked from the same plan, the same behavioural understanding and the same live data — instead of three parallel versions of each?

Founded
2024
Origin
TaMHS — NELFT NHS Foundation Trust, 2010–2011. Developed and introduced by Miguel Estrada, project Clinical Lead at the time.
Principle
One child. One plan. One team that actually talks to each other.

From a pilot, to a service, to a platform.

The Targeted Mental Health in Schools (TaMHS) programme, delivered through the NELFT CAMHS team between 2010 and 2011, took a structural bet: co-locate clinicians with schools, share the plan with the family, and treat coordination itself as the intervention. The year-one report found meaningful improvements across social- emotional and academic measures.

The gap wasn’t information. It was coordination. Rconnected is the digital evolution of that service logic — translating structured multi-agency working into a practical platform for contemporary care.
