The British Society of Echocardiography sets the standard for echocardiography accreditation across the UK and beyond.
Founded in 1990 and registered as a charity, BSEcho supports over 5,000 members across the UK, Ireland, and 30 other countries. Its membership includes cardiac physiologists, cardiologists, clinical scientists, intensivists, radiologists, and anaesthetists.
BSEcho Logbook is the platform candidates use to build and submit their portfolios for accreditation assessment. It was built by ECS Software Consulting Ltd., a UK-based software consultancy. Logbook supports six accreditation pathways, from TTE and TOE to stress, critical care, congenital, and Level 1. Each requires candidates to document real clinical cases with supporting report evidence.
The Challenge
Medical reports contain patient data. That's the point.
Every echocardiography report submitted through Logbook is a real clinical document. It contains the information that makes it clinically useful: the patient's name, date of birth, NHS number, referring clinician, GP surgery details, and the scan findings. That data is there because it has to be.
The risk isn't a visible name on a PDF. It's the data that stays in the file after you think it's gone. BSEcho needed a solution that removed it completely, so every document on the platform was clean at the byte level. Not just the surface.
How It Works
Five steps from upload to submission.
Upload
The candidate uploads their echocardiography report PDF to the case in Logbook.
Suggest
Logbook prompts the candidate to run Redactr Suggest. The
uk-medicalagent reads the document and returns a list of suggested redactions.Review
The candidate reviews each suggestion. They can dismiss any they disagree with, or add manual redactions to any area of the document.
Redact
The candidate runs Redactr Redact. The API applies full-depth redaction to every selected region, permanently removing the data from the file.
Submit
The candidate attaches the redacted report to their case and submits it for assessment. The assessor sees the clinical work. Nothing else.
Redactr Features
What BSEcho Logbook uses.
Suggest API
The uk-medical agent reads clinical documents in full and returns suggestions for sensitive fields. It understands context, not just named fields.
Redact API
Permanent, full-depth redaction. Redactr removes the data from the file entirely. Not covered, not hidden.
Manual Redactions
Candidates can mark any area of a document for redaction, in addition to or instead of the suggested fields.
UI Libraries
Logbook uses Redactr's licensable frontend libraries to embed the suggest and redact workflow directly into the platform UI.
