About
Install the app
Works without Wi-Fi or mobile signal — ideal for community nursing visits, basements, and ward dead-zones.
The Decision Helper, Spot the Error, Prompt Explorer, and Checklists all run locally on your device.
No login or personal data collection — everything you type into the tools stays in your browser.
You can install the toolkit like an app. It gets its own icon on your home screen or app list, opens without the browser bars, and saves pages so you can read them without a signal. That's useful on wards, in community settings and on placement.
How to install

How offline use works
- Saved after you install. Once installed, the app saves the toolkit's pages and tools on your device, so they open without a connection.
- Most things work offline. That includes the nursing process pages, the lenses, Copilot guidance, the prompt explorer, the decision helper, Spot the error and the safe use checklist.
- Some things need a connection. Links to external sources, such as NMC, NHS England and Microsoft websites, need a signal. Searching the toolkit works offline.
- It updates itself. When you're back online, the app checks for new content. If you see a notice that an update is available, tap it to reload.
Your information
The app doesn't ask you to sign in and doesn't collect anything you type into its tools. What you enter stays on your device. Anonymous analytics only run if you accept cookies. See the privacy policy.
Work and university devices
Some NHS and university devices are managed centrally and may not allow apps to be installed. If the install option doesn't appear, bookmark the site instead, or ask your IT team.
