Less admin and tighter data security for a Galway physiotherapy clinic

How Galway City Physiotherapy used the Local Enterprise Office's Digital for Business programme to cut admin and tighten data protection.

01 · The objective

A clinic in good shape, looking to ease the load

Galway City Physiotherapy is a well-established private clinic with a growing patient base. It already ran on cloud clinical software with IT support and a website that performed well, so it was in good shape.

Bookings still came mostly through phone calls, and calls could be missed when reception was busy or clinicians were with patients. Some security details around devices, access and backups needed tightening.

02 · Our approach

Reduce admin, tighten security, keep what already works

Because the clinic was already well set up, AppAdvisor assessed its needs and focused on reducing admin and tightening security rather than starting from scratch. We also guided the practice through the grant application process.

The recommendations focused on three areas.

01

An AI receptionist

An AI receptionist and booking tool, advised to answer overflow calls and take bookings, easing pressure on reception.

02

Less time on notes

AI clinical note tools and an online exercise-prescription tool, recommended to save clinicians time.

03

A data security review

A review set out to bring devices, access and backups up to current GDPR standards.

“Joe and his team were so helpful in assessing our needs and advising with regard to the grant application process. It’s great to have access to someone like Joe with years of industry experience and lots of wise advice.”
Sharon, Galway City Physiotherapy

03 · The outcome

A focused plan for admin and security

A clear set of recommendations to take pressure off reception, save clinicians time and tighten data protection, built on systems the clinic already trusts.

The practice was also guided through the grant application process.
