2017 has started with a bang! Today, is the day that Physio First release their online booking feature. This is fantastic news for Physiotherapists across the UK and will see a huge improvement in how patients can book appointments. Product launches must be a new trend in 2017 with TM3 launching new Clinical Notes very soon.

What is Physio First’s online booking feature?

Alongside Physio First’s beautiful new website and revamped Find a Physio directory site, Physio First and transformational partner Blue Zinc have added an online booking feature too. The new online booking functionality will allow patients to book an appointment directly with registered members, meaning 24/7 bookings and a huge reduction in administration!

What is Pronto?

Pronto is available to clinics who use TM3, TM2 and PPS. For anyone who does not have any of these practice management systems, there’s a solution for you too - the Pronto Portal.
