How Hospinav works

A friendly companion for stressful hospital visits

Hospinav was built after a family scramble to find a relative's ward at short notice. 81% of people we surveyed didn't know how to get to the ward they were visiting. We want that to change — for patients, for visitors, and for NHS staff.

Step-by-step wayfinding

Pick a hospital, then a ward — Hospinav gives you turn-by-turn directions from the main entrance with floor changes, landmarks and a walking-time estimate.

Parking timer with smart alerts

See the tariff, start a countdown, and get a nudge when 1 hour is left and again every 15 minutes — so you can focus on what matters.

Free for the public, forever

The app is funded by friendly local sponsors — never by your data. Hospinav doesn't ask for an account or location to help you.

For NHS staff

NHS teams spend hours every week directing visitors. By giving people clear directions from the moment they walk in, Hospinav frees up that time for patient care — and helps reduce missed appointments.
