The problem with one shared account
Multi-discipline clinics and university teaching centres often run osteopathy, physiotherapy and other departments side by side. On a single Cliniko-style account, patient data is typically visible across the whole organisation. That creates privacy risk, awkward supervision workflows, and compliance headaches.
Sanstylo gives each discipline its own isolated company account. Osteopathy records stay in osteopathy. Physio stays in physio. Students and staff only see what their department should see.
