  • Our approach

    We design software and services to support healthcare practices

We are passionate in ensuring a practice can focus on patient care, so we put all our effort in automating all the other critical aspects of running a practice

We are strong believers in safety and use compliance as a guiding framework to ensure practices can deliver patient care in the best possible environment

Our history

Agilio started from a vision to create the UK’s leading practice operations software company. CODE, the leading provider of software-led compliance and HR services into the UK dental market, provided the first platform for Agilio. A few months later we added Isopharm which brought an established reputation for delivering the UK’s leading online training for over half of all UK dental professionals allowing them to fulfil their CPD requirements. 

Now united, the two companies share their combined 40 years’ experience to offer a comprehensive range of products and services to support the safe and efficient running of healthcare practices.

Our team – and their experience – is a huge part of what makes Agilio such a trusted face in the healthcare world. Here are some of the people who make us tick:

Prior to that Dr Sian spent 20+ years at IMS Health (now IQVIA) latterly as SVP Global Operations managing a team of over 6000 people across the globe and was part of the leadership team that led the hugely successful IPO of that business on the NYSE in 2014.
