Please update your RDS mobile app to version 4.7.1

We are pleased to advise that deep linking capability, enabling users to directly download individual mobile toolkits, has now been released on the RDS mobile app. When you install the update, you will see that each toolkit has a small QR code icon the header area beside the search icon – see screenshot below. Clicking on this icon will open up a window with a full-size QR code and the alternative of a short URL for sharing with users. Instructions are provided.

You may need to actively install the update to install RDS app version 4.7.1 to see this improvement. Installing this update is also strongly recommended to get the full benefits of the new contingency arrangements – specifically, that if the RDS website should fail, you will still be able to download new mobile app toolkits.

To check your current RDS version, click on the three dots bottom right of the RDS app screen. This takes you to a “More” page where you will see the version number. To install latest updates:

On iPhones – go to the Apple store, click on your profile icon top right, scroll down to see the apps waiting to be updated and update the RDS app.

On Android phones – these can vary, but try going to the Google Play store, click on your profile icon top right, click on “Manage apps and device”, select and update the RDS app.

Please get in touch with ann.wales3@nhs.scot with any questions.

Suggested actions

Consider how to share the results

Cluster meetings
Practices meeting

Regular progress reports and outcomes

Use STU reports, SCI Diabetes, NTIs and dashboards to monitor (and celebrate) change.

Consider organising an improvement event

This could be board wide, across primary and secondary care, or multiple events tailored for each area, but with the same common purpose.
Have a senior manager or executive attend. They can be invaluable in leveraging necessary support and resolving bottlenecks especially if the action can be linked to wider organisational priorities.

Regular follow-up and progress reports

Establish regular meetings reporting action and progress. Remember to praise progress and, where applicable, share the team's success and innovative ways of working.
