We are pleased to announce the introduction of AI Scribe, a new capability within the GoodSAM AI module that enables organisations to generate AI-supported documentation directly from in-person interactions. AI Scribe uses advanced transcription and language modelling to create accurate, structured draft documents, significantly reducing administrative effort.

NHS Single Sign-On Update – Improved and streamlined NHS login for a smoother, more secure experience. Introducing The Hub – A new central place to send various invite types and easily collect media. Activities Tab Enhancements – View scheduled activities and complete reports directly within the app. General Improvements – Minor updates and performance enhancements throughout.

Skills: In this App update, we have added the new “Skills” section. This enables organisations to set up new skills (such as flood response) with training packages in the App. Responders can then select the skill, undergo the training and be available to respond. Find it under the “Me” tab. If you’re a GoodSAM responder you’ll see skills becoming available over the next few months! Apple Liquid Glass: We have also reworked the App to configure to the sleek look of Liquid Glass.

Minor improvements and bug fixes.

Lone working support – If your organisation has enabled this, before going into someone’s house simply select the time you expect to be out, and if you aren’t, the organisation is informed. “Future Tasks” has been renamed as “Activities”. “Activity Completed” button now has customisable outcomes. Alert / Task Acceptance – the “Reject” button has changed to “decline”. Professionals – The “Invites” and “Media” tabs now display the team’s name and can be searchable by the team name.

- Minor bug fixes.

This is a major update for the GoodSAM alerting / tasking / volunteering module! There are some under the hood changes which support multiple new volunteering roles and opportunities. In addition, you will see buttons relating to: Lone Working Module: Organisations can now activate “lone working” for safety. This means that when a responder enters someone’s home, they can select how long they intend to be there for. If they are not out within that timeframe, the system can alert the host organisation and trigger a safety response. Currently this is being used for the NHS Volunteer responder programme, but other organisations will start in the coming months. Mobile Equipment: You can now state if you carry lifesaving equipment in addition to a defibrillator. This includes, bleed kits, naloxone for opioid reversal and epi-pens. This system is being set up so that ambulance services (if they wish), can alert specific people (e.g. police officers who carry naloxone) to specific incidents (e.g. opioid related unconsciousness). Currently, selecting these will not mean you get alerted, however, over the coming months, this functionality will start to be trialled. Equipment Registry: We also have increased our AED Registry to include bleed kits, water rescue and fire equipment. Please help us compile this data set in the same way we have done for AEDs. We have partnered with the Royal Lifesaving Society who will manage the water rescue equipment data. This means missing life rings etc can be reported to them directly and they can initiate the process to get them replaced. Thank you once again for being part of our wonderful community! All the very best for 2024!

This new update provides a new “Loan Working” module to improve volunteer and responder safety. This especially applies to our NHS Volunteer responders. If you’re going into someone’s house for example, simply set the duration of time you intend to be there for as you go in. At the end of that time, the system will check you have left. If you haven’t or don’t respond, a safeguarding process is started to ensure you are safe. As always, there are many other under the hood changes to improve your user experience. This is in addition to our last major update which enabled the mapping of rescue equipment including: AEDs Bleed kits Water rescue equipment Outdoor fire equipment This is an incredibly useful system that can help the emergency services guide people to equipment when needed. Thank you for helping map this and keep it up to date and thank you again for being part of our wonderful community.

In addition to being able to map fixed resources such as AEDs, bleed kits, water rescue and fire equipment, this update brings the ability to register if you are carrying life saving equipment. You can now indicate under the me tab if you are carrying: An AED Bleed / trauma kit Naloxone An Epipen. This enables emergency services to specifically alert those who have this equipment to specific emergencies. This does not affect the normal cardiac response and the code of conduct should still be followed if a cardiac responder. There is also a “I am physically fit and can lift” toggle. This means emergency and voluntary services can request help from those nearby in manual tasks such as lifting patients and deploying sandbags in flooding.

GoodSAM are excited to announce our new “Emergency Kit Register”!   In addition to mapping defibrillators, the platform now maps Bleed Kits, Water Rescue and Outdoor Fire Equipment. Please help us map these by taking a photograph of equipment that is in a fixed location and uploading it using the new kit icon located on the map.   Other additional features within this update include: - Easier registration – anyone can register to be a GoodSAM responder from within the App - Additional role support for the NHS Volunteer Responder Scheme - Under the hood changes   Thank you again for being part of the GoodSAM community!
