Special friend is now doing some really good voluntary work within the health service. Health service can appear chaotic to already stressed carers and patients. Services are good when they come together. Problem is carers always become nexus of care and end up coordinating services for the people they care for . They don't get straight away who they should contact, who does what etc. They are often in crisis and get loads of NT blarrr from health care professionals and even NT's don't understand blarr at this intensity under that kind of stress.
To make it worse it is often slightly conflicting pieces of information from each segment of the
c structure formed around them.

Suggested to friend building a visual map of pathways to care. Neither of us is particularly technically aware ( we can use simple stuff like website building software) We do not want to talk to a load of software sharks about this.

Is there a good piece of existing software for map building, possibly interactive that anyone has come across?

2D will be fine , but we were also thinking of something 3D when map becomes more complex if we develop this to include other patients and types of services.

Kind of Google Earth for local heath and social care.

I am visual graphics pattern HFA- She is total empath and just falls out of HFA range by 3 points, hence is sometimes very trusting even when her instinct tells her not to be. Do not want her getting screwed over by software blabbers.
