Choosing
What to look for in practice management software in the UK and Europe
- Where client data is stored. Health data is special category data under UK GDPR. Hosting in the UK or EU avoids relying on international transfer safeguards.
- AI compliance. If you use AI for meal plans or questionnaires, check whether the provider designs for the EU AI Act.
- Languages. If any of your clients prefer a language other than English, check the client app supports it.
- Payment fees. Commission on every invoice adds up as your practice grows.
- Wearables. Make sure the devices and apps your clients already use can connect.
Why practitioners choose SANNO
- You practise in the UK or Europe and want client data hosted there.
- You see clients in languages other than English.
