In 2001 we released our first product aimed at healthcare professionals: ChiroOffice – Clinic management software for UK Chiropractors.

We soon had requests coming in from Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Podiatrists and numerous other professions all asking if we could provide some sort of Clinic Management software for their profession too!

Later that year we released OsteoOffice and PodiatryOffice. However it soon became apparent that it was going to be impractical to keep releasing different software packages for each and every healthcare profession…

However, one of the biggest requests we had was for the program interface to be even more flexible and customisable and for the program to run over the internet, thus ClinicOffice 2005 was released… in 2005 (!)

The interface was much more flexible with the possibility of unlimited user-defined fields. A number of new features were put in to the program, including a new database engine which could run over the internet.

While CO2005 introduced a lot of excellent new features, one problem was that the user interface sometimes got a bit complicated. Additionally, some clients had now been using ClinicOffice for a number of years and their databases were getting very large which was starting to impact performance.

And so in April 2008, ClinicOffice v4 was unleashed with a more powerful database engine and a brand new ‘Microsoft Ribbon Bar interface’ as well as many other enhancements.

Rather than a complete rewrite of the software, version 5 is based on the same code-base as version 4 and is more of an evolution than a revolution. We’ve added some major new features requested by our customers and have also worked to enhance the performance of the Startup and Professional Editions.
