Adobe End of Life: Transition
27th September 2013

As we previously advised users, today is the official end of life of Adobe Flash, which is an application that was used to create www.idapt-planning.co.uk. This means that the majority of systems will no longer allow access to the drawing part of our website.

The majority of users have already transitioned over to our new system Idapt Planner 3D (further details at www.idaptplanner3d.com) but if you do not have an account for the new version then please contact one of the team. 

As a reminder, all existing users will receive a new Idapt Planner 3D account at the same rate as the previous version. We are also offering FREE remote training on the new version so that users can get up and running as soon as possible. Please contact one of the team for further details.

Adobe have announced this is end of life from 31 December 2020 and will no longer supported by the majority of internet browser providers. On this basis, there is some action required to transition to our new version.

  • Your existing licence fee will remain the same at Ł150 + VAT user/year despite the new version costing Ł250 + VAT user/year. This is to thank all our existing customers for their ongoing support. 
  • The new and improved version has been refreshed to still provide the same easy to user interface but with lots of added features. 
  • The new version is still cloud based but will be accessed through an App rather than a web browser.

idapt: reports
26th October 2012

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new website.  idapt: reports’ new home is at www.idaptreports.com and showcases our expert witness accommodation reports service.

idapt LLP has been involved in the design and project management of disabled adaptations for many years.  We have worked alongside local authorities, health authorities, insurance companies and private individuals to create innovative and inclusive designs.  Please visit our new website to see some examples of our recent projects. 

We have been receiving increasing numbers of enquiries about our expert witness accommodation report writing service.  Many solicitors require these reports for clients when a personal injury claim is made resulting from clinical negligence, a serious accident or other event that causes a long term injury.
We decided that a separate website would be the best way of showcasing our skills in this area.
Please visit www.idaptreports.com for more information or contact the team on marketing@idapt-planning.co.uk   

idapt attends Global Business Summit on Advances in Assistive Medical Technologies
4th September 2012

The UKTI has organised and held a number of business summits during London 2012. As part of the series of events, the UKTI has recognised the key role that the UK plays in the development of innovative assistive technologies for those with special needs and those requiring care.  To promote British Business around the world, a Global Business Summit on Advances in Assistive Medical Technologies was held at Lancaster House at the start of this month.  The idapt team were delighted to receive an invitation to attend this event.

The day started early with a working breakfast and the opportunity to meet with other key players in this market.  This was followed by a visit to the world renowned Stoke Mandeville Hospital to see first hand some of the innovative work they are involved with.  It was also a great opportunity to visit the spiritual home of the Paralympic Games, which was in full flow on the other side of the capital.

After a productive day of seminars, a reception was held to allow those attending to discuss business in a less formal environment.  The attendees were welcomed to the evening reception by David Willetts MP. This was followed by a keynote speech from Dee Caffari MBE who gave an interesting insight into how injured soldiers have been re-inspired through competitive sailing. Overall, it was a brilliant opportunity to meet so many key players in this field.
